Mexico continues to experience a steady increase in travelers each year, driven by visitors from the United States, Canada and the UK.
New data released by Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism shows that the country welcomed 16.5 million international tourists by air between January and October 2025. That figure is nearly 100,000 more tourists compared with the same period in 2024 and amounts to a 10.2 percent increase over with what was recorded in 2019.
“These results confirm that Mexico is a reliable destination for the millions of people who visit us each year,” Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism, Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, said in a statement.
“Families, young travelers and older adults continue to come because they find in our country a destination full of hospitality, infrastructure and experiences that inspire peace of mind and enjoyment,” Rodríguez Zamora added.
Mexico’s three biggest source markets are led by the United States. About 11.157 million U.S. visitors traveled to Mexico during the first 10 months of this year, that’s 62,000 more tourists than during the same period in 2024 and a 26.7 percent uptick over 2019.
Tourism from Canada also showed strong momentum, with 2,079,000 visitors. That’s up 11.4 percent compared with 2024 and 18.1 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels.
There were about 372,061 travelers from the United Kingdom, marking a 3.2 percent increase over the same period last year.
Mexico also recorded significant increases in visitation from other countries. That includes Italy, up 14.8 percent; Argentina, up 14.3 percent; South Korea, up 11.6 percent and China, up 10.6 percent. The combined arrivals from these and other international markets totaled 2.9 million visitors.
