São Paulo – Foreign visitors contributed a record USD 8.3 billion in tourism revenue to Brazil's economy in the first nine months of the year, according to data released by the Brazilian Agency for International Tourism Promotion (Embratur). The spending rose 9.1% compared to the same period last year, with September alone seeing foreign tourists generate USD 904.7 million, an 8.3% increase from September 2025, also marking a new record.
In addition to the impressive revenue figures, Brazil welcomed more than seven million foreign visitors through September, representing another record high for the tourism sector. Embratur President Bruno Reis highlighted that the significant inflow of USD 8.3 billion benefits the entire tourism supply chain, particularly workers in destinations like hotels, restaurants, tour guides, and retailers.
Reis noted that the total represents a boost to the national economy, stimulating activity across various sectors as a result of the diversified international market strategy under Plano Brasis.
Plano Brasis, the international marketing plan, targets 23 strategic markets to attract tourists for the 2025-2027 period. The agency reported that the most significant growth in tourist arrivals occurred in the Northeast and Southeast regions.
