Tourism: a long-standing economy pillar
• Arrivals and revenues in Jan-Aug 2019 reached
similar levels as the respective period of 2018.
• Arrivals in 2018 reached an all-time record of 4
million persons. Efforts including prolonged
seasonality period, investment in capacity and better
flight connectivity contributed to the increase in
inbound tourism.
• Revenues have increased at a lower rate than arrivals
due to change in travel characteristics such as length
of stay and forms of travel eg. all-inclusive packages.
