Monthly inbound tourist arrivals in the U.S. from Latin American countries 2021

Mexico was the leading Latin American source country for inbound tourism to the United States during the first five months of 2021. In that period, the United States registered over 1.1 million air traveler arrivals of Mexican residents. Colombia placed second on the list, with around 304 thousand air traveler arrivals recorded. For both countries, May was the month with the highest number of tourist arrivals to the United States: roughly 383 thousand and 134 thousand, respectively. The increase in inbound arrivals reported in the U.S. in May might also concern the so-called "vaccine tourism", pointing out to non-resident travelers entering the United States to get vaccinated against COVID-19. By that month, nearly half of the 50 states in the North American country offered immunization for non-residents.
