México lidera envíos de turistas a Estados Unidos en 2026

México se mantiene como el principal mercado emisor de turistas hacia Estados Unidos, según proyecciones presentadas en una conferencia durante IPW 2026 en Fort Lauderdale.

Durante la sesión de Brand USA en IPW 2026, la organización proyectó que México enviará 18.5 millones de visitantes a Estados Unidos este año. Esto representa un crecimiento anual del 3 por ciento y consolida su posición por encima de Canadá desde 2025.

La cercanía geográfica, la conectividad aérea y terrestre, y los lazos comerciales impulsan esta tendencia. Brand USA destacó el gasto en compras, entretenimiento y hospedaje por parte de los viajeros mexicanos.

Estados Unidos espera un total de 70.6 millones de visitantes internacionales en 2026, con un aumento del 3 por ciento tras una desaceleración moderada en 2025. Persisten desafíos como la percepción de seguridad y los costos de viaje.
