A Year in Review - Seychelles' Tourism Recovers 90% Since Onset of Covid-19: Seychelles tourism economy Covid19
According to figures from the National Bureau of Statistics on December 11, a total of 311,108 visitors disembarked in Seychelles this year. For the same period in 2019, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, this figure stood at 353,215 visitors.
Coordination with different agencies, in terms of destination preparedness, was outlined as an area where improvement could have been made in 2022. "As we lost the Ukraine market and part of the Russian one, certain COVID-19 travel requirements were being lifted on our traditional markets such as Germany, France, and England. This meant that the booking cancellations that we were having were being replaced by visitors from our traditional markets. This helped us in our recovery for the year. With this, we even went beyond our set targeted tourism arrival figure which was 258,000 for the year," said Francis.
