Latin American Online Travel Overview

Summary

Despite the global financial crisis, Latin America was one of the few travel markets in the world to experience double-digit growth in 2010. While many other regions either had marginal upticks, or else declined for a second consecutive year, the total Latin American travel market jumped 11% in 2010. In many respects, this dynamic and extremely diverse marketplace resembles what the U.S. and more developed travel markets were like 10-12 years ago, and the opportunities are enormous.
