According to a report by the U.S. Department of State, bitcoin "bringed El Salvador considerable fame and contributed to the growth of the country's popularity as a tourist destination." In addition, the PTS had "a minimal negative impact on the economy of El Salvador and created the prerequisites for the formation of a favorable investment climate."

The department emphasizes that El Salvador has become the fourth country in the world in terms of growth in the tourism sector - the number of guests from 2019 to 2023 increased by 35%. In 2023 alone, more than 3.4 million tourists visited El Salvador, which, according to rough estimates, brought almost $3 billion to the local economy.

Recall that in 2022, the government of El Salvador linked the adoption of bitcoin with the restoration of tourism to the level preceding the pandemic.
