Speaking in the Regional Conference of Latin America and the Caribbean Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Stella said the country is in second place, second only to Mexico on the list of Latin America’s most sought after countries from the United States.
As for LatAm cities and tourist destinations, Americans look search for Cancun, in Mexico, and Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, thus demonstrating the interest they have in visiting those places.
