Travel in Ecuador continues to recover from the harsh impact of the pandemic although inbound arrivals remain below 2019 levels. The Ecuadorian travel industry faces significant challenges from the high level of insecurity in the country.
Low-cost carriers have struggled to establish a foothold in Ecuador, with airlines entering and leaving the market year on year. In March 2024, JetSMART began operating routes between Quito and Lima, followed by services between Guayaquil and Lima.
In 2024, Ecuador faces a significant decrease in hotel occupancy rates due to a drop in domestic tourism, driven by heightened insecurity and negative news. Coastal region hotels experienced the most significant decline in occupancy, while those in the Andean and Amazon regions, though also struggling, performed relatively better.
Online booking platforms, particularly Booking.com and Despegar.
To create more sustainable tourism, the Ministry of Tourism has announced an increase in entry fees to the Galapagos Islands, doubling the cost for international travellers from $100 to $200 and for Mercosur members from $50 to $100. Fees for Ecuadorians increased from $6 to $30.
