Tourism and Migration Statistics
Information on the total number of visitors, their nationality and length of stay are economic indicators. Further
to this, Tourism Industry has contributed significantly to the country's economy and it is therefore necessary that
such information is made availble on a timely manner.
The source of information for these statistics are the arrival and departure cards which are administratively used
by the department of Immigration.
