Brazilian tourism had revenues of R$ 18.1 billion in September, the highest value for the month since 2014. The numbers were compiled by the Tourism Board of the Federation of Trade in Goods, Services and Tourism of the State of São Paulo (FecomercioSP) , based on data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).
In all, Brazilian tourism revenue grew by 29.2% compared to the same month in 2021. In the accumulated result for 2022, the amount jumps 32.5% and, in the sum of the 12 months ended in September, it advances 29.6 %.
Among the tourism sectors, the highest revenue was accounted for in air transport, with revenue of BRL 6.066 billion – growth of 63.1% compared to September 2021, supported in part by the increase of about 40% in the value of tickets.
Next, accommodation and food services, with revenues of R$ 4.973 billion, equivalent to an increase of 20.2% in the interannual comparison.
Land transport completes the list, with revenues of R$ 2.965 billion (20% increase in the interannual comparison); cultural, recreational and sports activities, with gains of R$ 1.265 billion (19.7%); water transport, which earned R$ 48.886 million (16.4%); and leasing of means of transport, travel agency, operators and other tourism services, with R$ 2.752 billion (7.4%).
In a note, the president of the FecomercioSP Tourism Board, Mariana Aldrigui, says that the numbers should remain positive between October this year and February 2023, due to a combination of factors such as the World Cup, the high season with no restrictions on mobility and the search for Brazilian destinations as an alternative to traveling abroad.
The FecomercioSP survey is based on information from the Annual Survey of Services and the Monthly Survey of Services by IBGE, with a focus on activities that are wholly or partially related to tourism. The numbers are updated monthly using the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).
