Ua ulu ka huakaʻi i Latin America i ka 3.3% ma nā ʻekolu hapaha mua o 2019 a me nā hoʻoneʻe mua no ka Q4 he 4.0% ma mua o kahi i ka hopena o Q3 i ka makahiki i hala.

Ua hōʻike ʻia nā loina i kahi kūkā kūkākūkā i mālama ʻia ma Māhele Huakaʻi Honua, Lādana, hoʻoponopono ʻia e ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Jeremy Skidmore a hōʻike iā Colin Stewart; lunahoomalu o LATA, Olivier Ponti, Hope Pelekikena o Insights ma ForwardKeys a me nā lunamakaʻāinana: María Amalia Revelo Raventós; Ke Kuhina Hoʻomākaʻikaʻi o Costa Rica, Anasha Campbell Lewis; Kuhina Hoʻomākaʻikaʻi o Nicaragua, a me Felipe Uribe; Luna Hoʻokele Nui ma ka papa hoʻokipa ʻo Chile.

Mai laila, piʻi aʻe ka poʻe hōʻea he 7.0% i nā mahina eiwa mua o ka makahiki a ʻo nā hoʻoneʻe mua no Q4 he 6.0% i mua. ʻO ka mākeke kumu waiwai nui ʻelua, me 32% kaʻana, nā ʻāina Lākina ʻAmelika iā lākou iho. I nā mahina ʻeiwa ʻekahi, ua iho mai ka poʻe hōʻea mai Latin America 1.2% a pālahalaha maikaʻi nā palapala Q4 mai ka ʻāina, ʻo 0.1% wale nō i mua. ʻO ke kolu o nā mākeke kumuwaiwai nui ʻo ʻEulopa, me 22% mahele. Ua piʻi ka piʻi ʻana o ʻEulopa i ka 2.1% i loko o nā mahina ʻeiwa mua a ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana Q4 5.1% i mua. ʻO ka huakaʻi mai ʻAsia Pākīpika, me kahi ʻāpana 2%, a me ʻApelika a me ka Hikina Waena, me kahi mahele he 1%, ke hōʻike nei i nā helu ulu kupaianaha, a 9.1% a me 33.0% no nā mahina ʻeiwa mua a ma mua o 10.1% a 29.2% no Q4.

Ke nānā pono nei i ke Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻike ʻikepili mālama lewa i nā mahina he 12 i hala (a hiki i ka 30 Kepakemapa 2019), e hōʻike ana i ka emi ʻana o 1.2% o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka ea ma Latin America mai UK mai ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka wā like o ka makahiki i hala. Eia nō naʻe, i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ua heleleʻi ka huina nui o nā hōʻea honua mai UK mai i ke koena o ka honua e 1.6% i ka manawa like - e hōʻike ana i ke kūpaʻa o ka mākeke huakaʻi ʻo Latin American.

Ke nānā nei i nā puke i mua no Q4 o 2019 (wā ʻOkakopa - Kekemapa), hōʻike ka ʻikepili i ka hoʻonui ʻana o 4% yoy i nā hoʻopaʻa honua ʻana i Latin America. ʻO nā ʻāina ulu nui me Nicaragua (+ 98.3%); ʻoiai mai kahi laina liʻiliʻi, Chile (+ 13.2%) a me Panama (+ 13.1%). ʻO nā puke i mua i Costa Rica pū kekahi (+ 11.3%).

Ke nānā pono nei iā Nicaragua, ʻoiai ka ulu nui ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi ma 2017, i ka makahiki 2018 he nui o nā mākeke nui o Nicaragua i hoʻokō i nā ʻōlelo aʻo huakaʻi koʻikoʻi ma hope o nā kūʻē o ka ʻāina i ka hopena nui i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi o ka ʻāina. Ma mua o nā kūʻē, ua piʻi aʻe ka poʻe hōʻea i 5.1% yoy a ua piʻi ka helu ʻana ma 7.0%. Eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki i hala, hāʻule nā mea hōʻea i Nicaragua ma kahi o 60%. Ke hoʻomaka nei ke ola hou ʻana, me nā hōʻea ʻana a me nā puke ʻana i ka manawa Mei-Sep 2019 e piʻi nui aʻe ana, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā puke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wā like o ka makahiki i hala. Kākoʻo ʻia kēia hoʻōla e kā LATA hoʻokūkū i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi ʻo UK i kapa ʻia #NicaraguaIsopen a e hoʻopuni ana i kahi o nā hana hoʻolaha.

I kēia mau lā hou aku nei, ua pili ka haunaele home i Ecuador. Hōʻike ka ʻikepili ma muli o ka hopena pōkole, i ka manawa i kū ai ka poʻe kūʻē, wikiwiki koke nā hoʻopaʻa ʻana. Loaʻa ka hopena pōkole i nā ʻāina kūʻē i nā ʻāina ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻē aʻe, Columbia, Panama a me Peru.

I ka hihia o Chile, ke ʻike nei ka ʻāina i nā kūʻē ma Santiago i hiki ke loaʻa ka hopena pōkole i nā helu kipa. Eia nō naʻe, hōʻike nā laʻana i luna i ka 'bouncebackability' o nā wahi i Latin America. ʻO Felipe Uribe, ka luna mākaʻi nui no ka Chile Tourism Board i ʻōlelo: "ʻOiai ke kū nei nā mea kūʻē ma nā wahi waena o Santiago, ʻaʻole pilikia ka hapa nui o ke kūlanakauhale a me ke koena o ka ʻāina a hiki i nā poʻe ke hoʻomau me kā lākou huakaʻi huakaʻi e like me ka maʻamau."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

One key factor is the economic crisis in Argentina which has led to a decline in the value of its currency, the Argentinian peso, making the destination exceptional value for visitors, but travel abroad much more expensive for its citizens.
Recovery is now underway, with arrivals and bookings in the period May-Sep 2019 being dramatically up, compared to the volumes registered in the equivalent period the previous year.
“While there are currently protests in central parts of Santiago, much of the city and the rest of the country is unaffected and people can continue with their travel plans as normal.
