We review in this new issue the statistics of foreign tourists who entered Ecuador during the 2019 by air.

At a slow pace, but generally driven by the arrival of new airlines to the country, the return of some and the increase in frequencies of other statistics show a growth in comparison with the 2018.

We will also leave Venezuela out of the review this year, but indicating that a number of entries from that country could have been tourists and we will focus on the data from the rest of the countries, always taking into account that many of the entries from Spain and the United States will also correspond to Ecuadorians who have passports from those countries.

It is important to indicate that the statistics presented here only show arrivals by air..

We can see that the United States continues to grow with a 6% being the main market towards Ecuador. It is also important that countries like Brazil and France, that since last year have direct flights to our country, show significant increases that could be directly related to this new connectivity, the same thing happens with Mexico.

The generation of new routes and frequencies are closely related to the statistics, and we can also see markets that have stagnated, Despite its importance due to the lack of new competition, such as the cases of Colombia or Argentina, where there are no longer direct flights.

  1. Why has it increased more than 100% the cost of the ticket in Tame from Quito to Cali via Esmeraldas?
