- Peru sees a staggering 170% increase in sales year over year, highlighting its growing allure despite regional challenges.

In February 2024, Latin Routes experienced a remarkable increase in sales, attributed to the growing interest in key Latin American destinations. This notable growth, over 100% compared to the previous year, underscores the appeal of these regions. Peru, Chile, and Argentina emerged as the frontrunners in driving this unprecedented demand. Despite recent media focus on regional challenges, such as the state of emergency in Ecuador, demand surged persistently.
Peru’s drawing power became particularly evident as sales soared by more than 170% year-on-year in February. This significant spike reflects the country’s strong attraction among travellers who remain eager to explore its cultural and natural riches. Similarly, Chile witnessed an impressive growth of over 90%, reinforcing its position as a top travel destination. Argentina also contributed to the robust sales figures with a more than 30% rise in bookings.
Aside from traditional favourites, there has been an increased interest in less-travelled destinations like Uruguay and Guyana. This shift signifies a broader trend where travellers are venturing beyond popular locales to seek unique experiences. Such destinations offer distinct experiences that are becoming increasingly appealing to the adventurous traveller.
Furthermore, Latin Routes has reported a rising interest in multi-country holidays. This trend indicates a growing desire among consumers to maximise their travel experiences by visiting several countries in one trip, enhancing the cultural and educational value of their journeys.
Senior product manager Cat Davies attributes this success to the combination of customer trust and dedicated staff efforts. She highlights the pivotal role of partnerships with various tourist boards, including those of Chile and Brazil, in augmenting this growth. Director and co-founder Martin Johnson acknowledges the extraordinary contribution of both staff and trade partners, whose support has been instrumental in achieving such outstanding sales figures.
Latin Routes’ extraordinary sales surge in February reflects a robust demand for diverse travel experiences, cementing its status as a leading operator in key Latin American destinations.
