Hi, I’m Paul Ryken from Minimalist Journeys. How can I help?
Summary
From the material you’re referring to, I don’t actually provide specific statistics or quantified trends that are uniquely about South America. The stats I mention are global tourism figures from UN Tourism (for example, international arrivals more than doubling from 674 million in 2000 to over 1.4 billion in 2019, projected to reach nearly 2.2 billion by 2029), plus qualitative discussion of overtourism and sustainability.
I do use examples from Latin America (like Guatemala, Ecuador, the Galápagos) to illustrate issues such as tourism leakage, overtourism, and responsible travel choices, but without region-wide numerical trend data specific to South America.
Are you looking for South America–wide arrival numbers, or more the impacts and sustainability challenges in popular South American destinations?
