Latin America, specifically South and Central America, has become the most sought-after region after Europe by Romanian tourists with middle-to-high incomes who are fans of premium tourism, according to the DAL Travel agency.
The ranking of countries in South and Central America is currently led by Mexico, followed by Ecuador – Galapagos, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Chile – Easter Island, Bolivia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Colombia.
Romanian tourists choose Latin America for its biodiversity, culture, atmosphere, rich and varied gastronomy, exotic landscapes, corals, and beach and water-related activities (swimming, snorkeling, diving).
During the pandemic period, circuits in Colombia and Costa Rica enjoyed great success.
According to DAL Travel, 60% of tourists choose circuits that combine several Latin American countries, while the remaining 40% opt for circuits focusing on a single country. For the second category, the most requested countries were Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, Colombia, and, until 2 years ago, Brazil (due to pandemic restrictions).
