Mexico’s tourism sector expects fewer pressures in 2027
Mexico’s tourism sector may face fewer pressures in 2027, as fuel costs and industry inflation are expected to ease and the peso may be less strong.
Higher jet fuel prices, airline failures and rising costs weighed on the sector this year, especially in air-dependent Quintana Roo.
Hotels, restaurants and transport faced inflation above the national average, while a strong peso meant dollar revenues converted into fewer pesos.
A less strong peso could improve Mexico’s price appeal to international travelers, but the non-resident fee also adds to the cost of a trip.
Tourism businesses want to offer more value so price is not the main factor in travelers’ choices.
Demand is expected to recover, particularly at beach destinations, with more favorable conditions forecast for the winter season.
Deloitte economist Daniel Sagan is due to present a 2027 economic outlook on November 11, including advice for the end of 2026 and preparations for fiscal changes.
Mexico’s tourism sector expects fewer pressures in 2027 as jet fuel prices stabilize at lower levels, sector inflation eases and the peso weakens.
Teresa Solís, a tourism and hospitality expert at Deloitte, said higher jet fuel costs, inflation and a strong peso had weighed on the sector.
Airline bankruptcies also temporarily reduced connectivity, with a greater effect on destinations that rely on air travel, including those in Quintana Roo.
Solís said the sector expects demand to recover in the next season, particularly at beach destinations, and anticipates more favorable conditions in winter.
