El Salvador projects the arrival of 4.2 million international tourists in 2026

International tourism arrivals in Peru experienced a decline in September, continuing a downward trend that began in August. Data indicates that between January and September, the total number of foreign visitors to the country fell by 0.9%, representing a loss of 22,013 tourists compared to the same period in the previous year. The September figures were reported as being lower than those recorded in August, signaling a persistent struggle in the sector's recovery.

Separately, El Salvador has announced growth projections for its tourism sector, estimating that the country will receive 4.2 million international visitors by the end of 2026. This forecast, provided by the Minister of Tourism, suggests an increase of 100,000 visitors compared to the projected figures for 2025.
