Inbound tourism volume in Brazilian states 2021

The state of São Paulo, Brazil remained the most internationally visited state in Brazil in 2021, with only nearly 423 thousand tourist arrivals. Paraná ranked second in that year, surpassing the state of Rio de Janeiro by more than 27 thousand arrivals. In total, the number of inbound visitor arrivals in Brazil in 2021 amounted to less than 800 thousand.São Paulo’s contribution to the Brazilian tourism sectorAs the most populated state in Brazil, São Paulo plays a key role for many tourism industries in the country. In 2020, for example, the state accounted for approximately 16 percent of the total number of restaurants, bars, and similar establishments officially registered at the Ministry of Tourism in Brazil. The Souteast region, where these the state located, is also home to the greatest number of travel agencies in Brazil. Due to its location, bordering the Atlantic Ocean on the East, tourism related to sun and beach activities was the main segment for São Paulo’s travel agencies as of mid-2020.Carnival in Rio de JaneiroThough ranking behind São Paulo in some tourism metrics, Rio de Janeiro outweighs expectations during Brazil’s worldwide famous event. In 2020, the revenue generated by the precursor of the Carnival amid the festivity season surpassed São Paulo’s by roughly 742 million Brazilian reals. In that time, there were 543 Carnival blocos -or street parade blocks- in the homonymous state’s capital, and its hotel occupancy rate marked roughly 80 percent. This was nonetheless lower than in previous years.

巴西圣保罗州在2021年继续保持着巴西国内访问量最高的州份地位，尽管仅有近42.3万游客到访。巴拉那州当年排名第二，其游客数量比里约热内卢州多出超过2.7万人。2021年，巴西的入境游客总数不足80万人。作为巴西人口最多的州份，圣保罗在众多旅游产业中发挥着关键作用。例如，在2020年，该州占巴西旅游部官方注册的餐厅、酒吧和类似场所总数的约16%。位于东南部的该州也是巴西旅行社数量最多的地区。由于其东部毗邻大西洋的地理位置，阳光和海滩活动相关的旅游成为了圣保罗旅行社的主要业务板块，截至2020年中旬。尽管在某些旅游指标上排名落后于圣保罗，但在巴西举世闻名的狂欢节期间，里约热内卢的表现却出人意料。2020年，狂欢节前期在节庆季节产生的收入比圣保罗高出约7.42亿巴西雷亚尔。在那个时期，同名州的首府共有543个狂欢节方阵——或街头游行区块，其酒店入住率大约为80%，尽管这一比例低于往年。
