THE Brazil has consolidated itself as the fourth country that most sends tourists to the United States according to an unprecedented research conducted by the office Viva America and sent exclusively to the CNN . The study, which analyzes visa and immigration data, reveals a significant increase in the flow of Brazilians to US lands in the first three months of 2025, compared to the same period of 2024.
Despite the unfavorable exchange rate, with the dollar quoted at R $ 5.66, almost half a million Brazilians visited the United States in the period analyzed. This number represents a growth of approximately 5% over the previous year, contrary to the observed fall trend in other countries.
Ranking of countries that most send tourists to the USA
1. Mexico: 2.8 million visitors (falling 21%)
2. Canada : 2.6 million visitors (46%fall)
3. UK : 799 thousand visitors (falling 2.5%)
4. Brazil: 478 thousand visitors (5%increase)
5. Japan: 451 thousand visitors (4%increase)
6. India : 441 thousand visitors (stable)
7. China: 405 thousand visitors (increase of 8.7%)
Rafael Rezende, director of Viva América in Brazil, attributes the interest of Brazilians to the United States to the strong cultural influence exerted by the country through series, films and cultural similarities. He also highlights future events that should intensify this flow, such as the FIFA Club World Cup in June this year and the 2026 World Cup, both based in the United States.
It is important to note that, while Brazil has growth, countries neighboring the US, such as Mexico and Canada, recorded significant falls in the number of tourists. Experts attribute this reduction to political and economic tensions, including controversial statements and commercial disputes.
Increased financial operations tax (IOF) for international transactions can impact future travel plans of Brazilians. However, the recent history shows that even with economic challenges, Brazil maintains its prominent position among the countries that most send tourists to the United States.
