Brazil sets new record as it welcomes 3.7 million international tourists in Q1 2025
From January to March, the country registered the highest number of foreign visitors in history, with an increase of 47.8% compared to the same period last year. The year 2025 is already consolidating itself as a historic one for Brazilian tourism. Month after month, the country has been breaking its own records, driven by a continuous increase in the arrival of international tourists. This accelerated pace of growth can be seen in the first quarter. In this period alone, Brazil recorded the largest influx of foreign visitors in its entire history: 3,739,649 international tourists arrived at Brazilian destinations. In the accumulated total of the first three months, the increase is even more significant – 47.8% up compared to the same period of the previous year. In March alone, a total of 929,096 tourists from abroad have arrived in Brazil. This number represents a growth of 25.5% compared to the same period in 2024. The data is from the Ministry of Tourism, in partnership with Embratur and the Federal Police. The good performance was driven by strategic actions to promote international tourism and by strengthening the tourism infrastructure. “We are experiencing a historic moment for international tourism in our country. A sequence of records, with a growth rate in the number of foreign visitors that exceeds all expectations. The world is increasingly attracted to Brazil, which respects and values diversity, unique cultural expressions, rich natural landscapes and sustainability. And this is our work. The record volume of international tourists translates into direct benefits for our economy, with growth in the tourism market, generation of jobs and income for Brazilians”, commented the president of Embratur, Marcelo Freixo. For the Minister of Tourism, Celso Sabino, this progress reflects the joint work between the government, the private sector and international partners. “Our goal is to continue at this pace and consolidate the country as one of the main tourist destinations in the world”, highlighted Sabino. International arrivals The state of São Paulo continues to be the main gateway for international tourists, with 277,266 arrivals in March. Next comes Rio de Janeiro, with 241,812 entries. Rio Grande do Sul also stood out, with 168,507 international visitors, demonstrating the strength of the South region as a destination. In the Northeast, Bahia remains the leader in international tourists, with 17,583 foreigners choosing to land in the state. Demand The survey also showed that the flow of Argentine tourists continued to rise in March. Once again, the border between the two countries was very busy, as were the other access routes, with Brazil receiving 395,149 Argentines — an increase of 76.72% compared to the same period last year. But it is not just the “hermanos” who are showing interest in Brazil. The number of Europeans entering the country also grew significantly in the first quarter, with an increase of 88.29%. Countries such as France, Portugal, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain lead the list of European visitors. Goals The National Tourism Plan (PNT) has outlined ambitious guidelines for the next three years, with the goal of positioning Brazil as the most visited destination in South America by 2027, attracting 8.1 million international tourists per year. “We are overcoming challenges and positioning Brazil as an attractive tourist destination for a highly demanding global market. We will work tirelessly to achieve the 2027 goal, with millions of foreign tourists visiting our country, generating jobs and boosting the local economy”, said the minister Sabino. Aligned with the 2024-2027 Multi-Year Plan, the PNT also includes 20 sectoral programmes and plans to achieve these goals. Implementation strategies are being developed collaboratively, within the scope of the Thematic Chambers of the National Tourism Council (CNT). Among the initiatives is the Climate Adaptation Plan for Tourism, which reinforces commitments to the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda.

After facing one of the most challenging times in our history, seeing our capital once again connected directly to Europe demonstrates the world's confidence in our recovery. This route strengthens our historical and cultural ties with Portugal and also opens up new opportunities for tourism and international business, in line with the guidelines of our Economic Development Plan.

International Tourist Arrivals in Brazil grew 59% in February
Carnival, Brazil In the first two months of 2025, Brazil received 2,810,553 international tourists, which represents the best mark in the historical series for the two-month period. In comparison with the same period in 2024, the increase was 57%. The data was released this Monday (10.03) by the Ministry of Tourism, in partnership with Embratur and the Federal Police.

For the president of Embratur, Marcelo Freixo, the new mark indicates that Brazil is finally living up to its tourism potential. "In the first two months of the year, we reached visitation levels above any projection, even the most optimistic ones. Brazil became fashionable, it went viral. Today, the world wants to know the Brazil of Fernanda Torres, of funk, of the Amazon, the Brazil that is a global reference for its joy, its culture, but also for the values of our people, for exalting our diversity and defending democracy. We are transforming our potential into reality”, said Marcelo Freixo. The upward trend has been maintained at the beginning of this year, as pointed out by the Minister of Tourism, Celso Sabino. “Brazil is experiencing an exceptional moment in international tourism. We are breaking all records, which had already been surpassed in 2024. We started 2025 on a high note and the expectation is that this scenario will continue”, he highlighted. The numbers recorded in 2025 are well above the projections indicated for this year by sources such as GlobalData (+7.2%) and the National Tourism Plan itself (+1.8%). Gateways Rio Grande do Sul continues to be the main gateway for foreign tourists, recording 347,186 arrivals. Next comes São Paulo (309,977), which is home to one of the country's main international airports, Guarulhos. Rio de Janeiro also stood out, receiving 262,108 visitors from other countries. In the Northeast, Bahia remains the leader in welcoming international tourists. There were 24,254 travellers who chose the capital of Bahia, Salvador, to enter the country. The demand for Argentines coming to Brazil continued to rise in February as well. Once again, the border between the two countries was busy and Brazil received 662,694 "hermanos" on Brazilian soil. This number represents more than double the number of tourists from the neighbouring country in the same month of the previous year (306,756). But they are not the only ones interested in getting to know Brazil. The average number of Europeans entering Brazil grew by 56% between January and February. Countries such as France, Portugal, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy sent 142,000 tourists in the second month of the year, compared to just over 91,000 who visited the country in January. Reference year In addition to the records reached in the entry of international tourists in January and February, Brazil also broke the record for annual arrivals in 2024. In the accumulated total for the 12 months of last year, 6,773,619 visitors from other countries arrived in Brazilian destinations, 14.6% more than in 2023, when the number was 5,908,341 tourists.
