Central America is a subcontinent between the South of Mexico and the North of Colombia. It is worldwide known as a tourism destination due to its coastlines bordering both the Pacific ocean and the Caribbean sea. In 2021, the region's international tourism spending amounted to 6.1 billion U.S. dollars, which represents a significant recovery from the impact of COVID-19 on tourism in 2020.
