ditto. and i am beginning to realize that it all has to do with the fact that if it is a currency, capital gains, CFTC, SEC regs etc all go out the window. The US cannot regulate other counties currencies and they know they are screwed as soon as another big central American country makes it legal tender

Regarding international arrivals, Forward Keys highlighted that the most visited destinations in the first quarter of 2022, compared to January-March 2019, were El Salvador with an increase of 39%, followed by the Turks and Caicos Islands with 2%. ; while Costa Rica fell by 9%, Mexico registered a reduction of 6% and the Dominican Republic with a negative figure of 4%.
Translation from Spanish by Google Translate:
El Salvador is the most visited Latin American country in 2022
