Brazil re-establishes itself as an international tourist destination after the pandemic

Brazil is once again consolidating its position as an international tourist destination after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increase in international flights of 355.36 percent in June compared to the same month last year, according to the Brazilian Agency for the Promotion of International Tourism (Embratur).

Specifically, Brazil received 3,806 international flights last month, an increase of 7.29 percent over May. In the year-to-date, 84 more flights began operating, and 36 more frequencies were added.

Embratur assured that the resumption of tourism in Brazil will lead to 84 new flights and 47 additional frequencies by February 2023.

In May, the airline GOL began operating more international flights from Buenos Aires, Miami, and Orlando to Brasilia, with four weekly frequencies.

For November, the forecast is to start the route between the cities of Buenos Aires and Natal, in addition to resuming, by December, all destinations in Argentina that existed in 2019.

For its part, United Airlines resumed its flights between Chicago and Sao Paulo and between Houston and Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the year.

Germany’s Lufthansa has also contributed to the increased connectivity offering, with the return of operations from Frankfurt and Munich to Rio de Janeiro and daily flights from Amsterdam to Rio de Janeiro.

Eastern Air plans to increase flights from Miami and New York to Belo Horizonte in October.

Other airlines, such as Latam, Delta Air Lines, and Iberia, have announced more international flights, connecting São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro cities with destinations such as Atlanta and New York in the United States, Medellin in Colombia, and Madrid, the Spanish capital.
