Ecuador’s tourism receipts have shown a marked expansion over the 26‑year span from 1995 to 2020, rising from a trough of 315,000,000.00 in 1995 to 705,000,000.00 in 2020, which placed the country 67th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2019 at 2,288,000,000.00 before the COVID‑19 pandemic precipitated a sharp decline the following year. Compared with peer economies of similar rank, Ecuador’s 2020 figure is slightly below Bahrain’s 724,000,000.00 and El Salvador’s 755,000,000.00, yet exceeds Ukraine’s 687,000,000.00 and the U.S. Virgin Islands’ 686,000,000.00, reflecting a moderate resilience in a region heavily dependent on international arrivals. The post‑pandemic recovery will hinge on the restoration of inbound travel, diversification of source markets and investment in sustainable tourism infrastructure, factors that could re‑accelerate growth and potentially restore pre‑crisis levels in the coming years.
