Movers and shakers in the Americas
Cancun is expected to be the strongest growing city in 2017 in the Americas. While the US is the largest source market, Mexico is becoming increasingly popular with visitors from Europe and Asia.
Rio de Janeiro performed strongly in 2016 with an increase in arrivals of 12.3% year-on-year due to the Olympic Games. Similar to 2015, when arrivals slumped after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, 2017 is expected to register a decline in arrivals. A contributing factor to this is the Zika virus, which was  nally under control in mid- 2017, and political unrest at the end of 2016.
