The Travel & Tourism market in Central America is experiencing significant growth and development.
Customer preferences: Travelers in Central America are increasingly seeking authentic cultural experiences, eco-friendly accommodations, and adventure tourism activities. They are drawn to the region's rich biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and vibrant local cultures. Additionally, there is a growing demand for personalized and unique travel experiences that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the local way of life.
Trends in the market: In Costa Rica, ecotourism has been a major driver of the tourism industry, with a focus on sustainability and environmental conservation. The country's extensive national parks and nature reserves attract nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Furthermore, Panama has emerged as a popular destination for luxury tourism, with upscale resorts and high-end amenities catering to discerning travelers. The country's cosmopolitan capital, Panama City, offers a mix of modernity and history, making it a dynamic tourist hub.
Local special circumstances: Central America's geographical location between North and South America positions it as a convenient and accessible travel destination for visitors from both continents. The region's diverse offerings, including ancient ruins, pristine beaches, and lush rainforests, make it a compelling choice for travelers seeking a variety of experiences in a relatively compact area. Additionally, the warm hospitality of the local population and the rich cultural heritage add to the overall appeal of Central America as a tourist destination.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The improving infrastructure and connectivity in Central America, including the expansion of airports and transportation networks, have made it easier for tourists to travel within and between countries in the region. Economic stability and government initiatives to promote tourism have also played a role in driving the growth of the Travel & Tourism market in Central America. As the region continues to invest in its tourism sector and promote sustainable practices, it is likely to attract a growing number of visitors in the coming years.
Data coverage:
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, package holidays, and camping.Modeling approach:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.Forecasts:
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.Additional notes:
The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.Mon - Fri, 9am - 6pm (EST)
