INTRODUCTION
Tourism is arguably the largest industry and one of the fastest growing
industries in the World today. It is estimated to represent over 4 trillion
dollars, or 10 percent of the World’s Gross Domestic Product (WTTC
Stat.2006). The industry supplies over 230 million jobs and over $800 billion
in tax revenues internationally (UN/WTO Stat.2007). Tourism is a major
generator of foreign exchange revenues and facilitates regional and
international trade and investment linkages. It is the principal Foreign
Exchange earner and the backbone of the economy of many small states
and island states like the Gambia, Seychelles, Maldives, etc.
Sierra Leone has strong potentials for tourism industry. It has excellent
beaches and islands, mountains and rich biodiversity, interesting wildlife,
friendliness of the people and rich socio-cultural heritage; and it occupies a
special place in the world history of anti-slavery movement as ‘the land of
freedom’ – hence the name Freetown of it’s Capital City.
Since the 1980s, the country has been developing a small but, a thriving
tourism industry. The end of the civil conflict in 2002 led to renewed arrivals
by business travelers, as well as members of the Diaspora visiting friends
and relatives. This in turn has stimulated some investment in the hotel and
guesthouse infrastructure in Freetown. For example, the Chinese
investment in Bintumani Hotel; the NASSIT investment in Tourism
infrastructure and the construction of new hotels such as Hotel Bamoi, and
Hotel Kimbima, etc by other domestic investors all form part of increased
investment in the tourism sector in the country.
Within the framework of the National Strategy for the Development of
Statistics (NSDS), the Government of Sierra Leone in 2008 approved the
deployment of Statisticians from Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) to eight line
ministries including the Ministry of Tourism to help collect and compile
statistical indicators in support of decision-making. This bulletin is part of the
effort under the NSDS to provide data on the Tourism industry in Sierra
Leone. This Bulletin is the first in a series of bulletins that will follow year
after year. Consequently, data included in this bulletin have an official
character. Therefore, any correction or changes received after this will be
included in the next edition of the Bulletin. The main topics covered in this
bulletin include data on tourist arrivals, country of origin of tourists, hotel
occupancy rates, tourist expenditure etc.
1.1
The Legal and Strategic Context of Tourism Development in Sierra
Leone
The Government of Sierra Leone recognizing the importance of tourism
development established the Hotels and Tourist Board in 1964. In these
early years, the growth and development of the tourism industry in the
country was relatively slow and lacked a specific direction. There was no
Act or policy to guide tourism development in the country. Key industry
actors were left wholly unregulated. This state of affairs continued for close
1
to a decade. In 1973, however, the GoSL decided to establish the Ministry
of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (MoTCA) in order to harness the immense
tourism potential in Sierra Leone, ensuring further socio-economic growth in
a regulated framework. The Hotels and Tourist Board became an integral
part of MoTCA in 1975.
1.2
The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (MoTCA)
Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs is responsible for policy formulation
on tourism and culture. The Ministry’s broad objectives are to promote
sustainable tourism as a means of economic growth and socio-cultural
integration and to promote Sierra Leone as an environmentally friendly
tourist destination. It aims at building the image of Sierra Leone abroad as a
country with a glorious past, and a vibrant future. It also aims at preserving,
protecting and promoting cultural diversity with a view to reviving and
strengthening national consciousness, understanding and appreciating the
cultural heritage and Artistic creativity of the Sierra Leonean People.
1.2.1 Policy Objectives of the Ministry
The overall policy objectives of
following:-
the Ministry of Tourism include the

Ensure that appropriate tourism policy including regulatory and
legislative framework are put in place.

Encourage the development of tourism activities that are geared towards
enhancing Sierra Leone’s image as middle and up-market destination as
well as protecting the environment for sustainable tourism development.

Encourage the provision of adequately trained and qualified manpower
to service the Tourism and Hospitality industry at all levels by developing
a comprehensive human resource development programme for the
sector.

Encourage investment in the sector by indigenous and foreign
entrepreneurs.

To ensure the preservation and conservation of the physical and cultural
heritage site of the country.

To pursue an effective market strategy for promoting Sierra Leone as a
Tourism Destination worldwide.
On February 21st 1991, Sierra Leone’s Parliament passed the Development
of Tourism Act 1990 which aimed ‘to make new and better provisions for the
promotion and development of tourism in Sierra Leone’. This Act
established the National Tourist Board (NTB) as a corporate body to be
supervised by the MoTCA

1.3
The National Tourist Board of Sierra Leone
On February 21st 1991, Sierra Leone’s Parliament passed the Development
of Tourism Act 1990 which aimed ‘to make new and better provisions for the
promotion and development of tourism in Sierra Leone’. This Act
established the National Tourist Board (NTB) as a corporate body to be
supervised by the MoTCA.
As articulated in Part II Section 9 of the Act, the general mandate of the
NTB is to develop all aspects of the tourist industry in Sierra Leone, to
promote its efficiency and a high international standard of facilities. The
NTB is further responsible for undertaking a wide range of functions
including research, experiments and operations to determine the impact of
tourism policies, classifying tourist facilities including hotels, casinos and
night clubs, registering and licensing of these tourist facilities,
recommending the declaration of National Tourism Development Assets to
the Government and providing or ensuring the provision of training for
tourism industry employees, among others.
Importantly, the NTB serves as a bridge between the public and private
sectors, and liaises with various institutions and key stakeholders in order to
carry out its mandate effectively. Although no amendments have been
made to the Act since it was approved by Parliament in 1991, critical
recommendations were put forward in 2008 which indicate a pressing need
to review and update the legislation.
The National Tourist Board began operating in November 1991. It is a semiautonomous body and a professional arm of the Ministry of Tourism and
Cultural Affairs. The European Commission (EC) through a Tourism
Development Project provided financial support for the initial set-up and
organization of the NTB.
1.3.1 Services Provided by the Board
The National Tourist Board plays a leading role in the promotion and
development of Sierra Leone’s tourism industry, particularly given the low
capacity of the private sector in providing tourism related services. In the
absence of private sector services, the NTB is filling the gap by undertaking
a wide range of activities from training (both technical and managerial) to
producing top quality brochures, websites and other promotional marketing
tools. The main services provided by the NTB in Sierra Leone are as
follows:






Implementing Government tourism policies
Developing and promoting sustainable tourism products
Developing and executing appropriate marketing campaigns
Designing and disseminating promotional materials
Facilitating private investment in the tourism industry
Assessing, licensing and classifying all tourist establishments
3

1.4
Monitoring the operations of all tourist establishments to ensure quality
services in compliance with ECOWAS Standards of Classification of
Tourist Establishments.
New Tourism Strategic Action Plan
There are on-going policy review activities in the Ministry of Tourism and
Cultural Affairs - for instance the Integrated Framework Tourism Project
(IFTP) which has three components – 1). A Tourism Strategic Action Plan
document has been developed and validated, 2). The Tour Guide Training
Programme is on-going and 3). The Marketing Program implementation is
also on-going, and is being sponsored by the World Bank, UNCTAD,
UNDP, etc and being implemented by Ministry of Tourism and the National
Tourist Board.
1.5
Strategic Policies/Regulations and Action Plan for the tourism Sector
(2009 -2014)
1.5.1 Key Government Policies & Regulations
The government of Sierra Leone in its bid to develop the tourism industry in
Sierra Leone has put in place the following strategic policies as enshrined in
the 2009 Draft National Investment Policy:
1. 5 years exemption from corporate tax, limited to 150 percent of
eligible expenditures of the original capital invested
2. Duty free for new construction, extension or renovation of existing
tourism related facilities ; applicable to building materials, machinery,
or equipment that is not easily available in Sierra Leone
3. Exemption from payroll taxes for 3 years for up to six non-citizen
employees with skills not available in the country.
4. Attractive tax incentives and services are also provided by other
sectors that will encourage investment in the tourism sector.
5. Stakeholders & investor coordination to restore Bunce Island
Facilities
6. Develop exhibition on Slavery in Sierra Leone; networking with
African-Americans in the Diaspora – Thus promoting ROOTS
TOURISM
7. Market awareness – Increase knowledge about Sierra Leone
Tourism potentials nationally and internationally through aggressive
marketing campaign.
4
1.5.2 Strategies/Activities of the tourism sector (2009-2014)
In order to achieve the aforementioned policies, the following
strategies/activities have been stipulated in the validated Strategic Tourism
Action Plan:
1. Target Tourism Product and Market Development around the
Western Area Peninsula – a platform for job creation and income
generation, and environmental conservation drive;
2. Institutional Capacity Building within the Ministry of Tourism, National
Tourist Board and the Hotel/Tourism School to improve service
delivery;
3. Government reforms to ease difficulties of investing in Sierra Leone;
so that the reform will stimulate investment opportunities within the
Tourism Sector;
4. Review and upgrade tourism related regulations – review of the 1990
Tourism Development Act, establishment of a Land Adjudication
Mechanism for Targeted Tourism Development Areas.
1.6
Comparative Advantage of Sierra Leone as Unique Tourist Destination
Sierra Leone enjoys several advantages, which augur well for the
development of a leisure, adventure and cultural heritage tourism segments.
Some of these advantages are:

Its outstanding crystal white and golden beaches with dramatic tropical
and mountainous backdrop;

Tropical environment and scenery (mountains, forests, rivers, coastline,
islands) and nature (birds, flora and fauna). Sierra Leone has interesting
wildlife, and could tap into the rapidly growing bird-watching niche
tourism market;

Proximity to Northern Europe – a 5-6 hour flight, which puts it closer than
the Caribbean, the Maldives and Mauritius;

Warm and fairly dry weather during the European winter,

Interesting heritage and tribal history, which can be built into an
attractive ‘story’ for Europeans, African-Americans and the Diaspora;

Diamonds, which offer a special ‘attraction’ as well as a potential buying
opportunity.
Despite the country’s ‘touristic’ advantages particularly its proximity to
Europe, tourism in Sierra Leone has developed relatively slowly, partly as a
result of the relatively unstable political environment that has existed in
5
much of the post independence era. While other countries in the sub-region
like Ghana, Senegal and the Gambia have a relatively viable tourism sector,
Sierra Leone is still struggling with less than five hundred thousand visitors
from Europe and America every year (NTB Stat.)

1.7
The Private Sector and the Tourism Industry in Sierra Leone
The private sector in recognizing the tourism potential in Sierra Leone, has
demonstrated keen interest in the sector by establishing hotels,
guesthouses, tourism facilitating agencies etc. Given the urgent need for
employment creation and the limited capacity of the country’s mining and
manufacturing sectors to generate enough jobs, Sierra Leone would do
better if it diversifies its economy through the development and promotion of
a viable tourism industry.
The major opportunity for Sierra Leone is in the development of beach
tourism. While there is considerable local entrepreneurship, there is a lack
of capital for larger hotel projects, and a lack of experience in
managing/marketing leisure hotels. Investment in this sector would probably
have to involve some overseas investors; and could be stimulated by joint
ventures in which the Government develops the site (the Western Peninsula
offers the best prospects) and the local private sector provides some equity
capital and local knowledge, while the foreign partner may bring expertise
and additional capital, including the credibility needed to attract loan
finance.
The substantial stock of existing hotel accommodation remains an issue for
the future development of tourism as most of the stock requires
improvement. Tax breaks, classification schemes and regulatory standards
will help improve the stock, as well as taking some of it off the market. There
is a substantial stock of small accommodation units, many operating with
very low occupancies. There is a need for a scheme to help such units
improve their standards, bring some of them together to gain economies in
marketing, and help them appreciate where potential market segments
exist, where they can be reached and what product they need to offer.
After many years of economic decline and civil war, there is a wide range of
needs such as employment, revenue, quality infrastructure, electricity,
water, etc. Some of these are gradually being improved as part of the
general recovery program, while others will have to be managed by private
investors. However, it will take a long time to tackle all the infrastructure
problems, and in the meantime priorities have to be set. One
recommendation to promote the tourism sector is to reflect the needs of the
sector in the investment and maintenance programs of the relevant
Ministries. For example, the construction of the road along the Western
Peninsula will promote tourism. Although this project is a top priority for the
tourism industry, its construction is largely out of the control of the tourism
industry.

2.0 TOURISTS/VISITOR’S ARRIVALS (1988-2008)
The number of arrivals includes all those persons disembarking at the
Freetown International Airport in Lungi, which includes non-Nationals as
well as Sierra Leoneans who are holders of dual citizenship. This category
however, excludes Sierra Leone nationals returning from conferences,
workshops, studies, medical check-ups and business trips from abroad. The
data also excludes arrivals by road or sea. The data is disaggregated by
year, place of origin of arrivals and the purpose of visit to Sierra Leone.
Figure 1.1 below illustrates the trend in the total number of visitors over the
period 1988 to 2008. As shown on the graph the number of visitors
increased steadily since 2000 and reached a peak in 2004, when the
highest number of visitors to Sierra Leone was recorded. The steady
increase in the number of visitors since 2000 could be attributed to the
peace that prevailed in the country following the signing of the Lome Peace
Accord, which brought the civil war to an end. As a result, the arrival of UN
Peace Keepers did not only boost the number of arrivals but also attracted
many NGOs and other humanitarian workers into the country at that time.

However, by the end of 2004 the phase withdrawal of the UN Peace
Keepers began, and the activities of NGOs were scaled down as a result of
the decline in the need for relief activities. These two factors accounted for
the decline in the number of visitors into the country since 2005. The lowest
recorded number of visitors was in 1997 mainly due to the May 27 coup of
the Arm Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), which attracted both
regional and international sanctions, and hence restricted the movement of
persons and goods to and from Sierra Leone.

OTHERS
Figure 1.2 shows that between 1988 and 1993 holiday was the main reason
why visitors came to Sierra Leone; while ‘business’ was also a popular
reason over the period . ‘Other’ became a popular reason mostly between
2003 and 2008. However, ‘other’ as a reason comprises of a whole range of
hidden reasons, including missing information on purpose of visit. Visiting
friends and families is also a popular reason for visitors. However, among
the expressed reasons for visiting the country, ‘conference’ is the least for
the period under review. This could be attributed to a combination of factors
including the insecurity created by the war, the lack of modern conferencerelated infrastructure, and the location of the main international airport in
Lungi across the sea that limit access to Freetown, the capital city where
most conference facilities are located.

arrivals from other regions; the re-branding effort of the Sierra Leone
Government since the end of the war in 2002 so that the country is seen as
a tourist destination coupled with its closer proximity to Europe than
10
America might be responsible for the higher proportion from this region.
Arrivals from ECOWAS countries constitute the second largest bloc,
followed by America and Asia.
2.2
Overnight Stay in Hotels and Similar Establishments
The total number of overnights stayed in tourist establishments is the
product of the number of nights spent by each tourist from the date of arrival
to the date of departure and the total number of tourist accommodated in
hotels or guest houses during the period. This information is important
especially to the National Revenue Authority (NRA) because it is one of the
key elements that determine how much revenue is generated from the
tourism industry. About 10 percent of the amount paid by each tourist per
room per night as hotel fees is paid to the NRA as tax which form part of the
revenue generated by the tourism industry. Therefore for the same number
of tourists per year the longer the tourist stay in the hotel, the more revenue
is generated by the tourism industry. During the period under review, the
average number of nights spent per tourist increased from five nights in
2000 to seven nights in 2005 and has remained at seven nights per tourist
up to 2008.
From Figure 1.4 below it can be estimated that the total number of nights
spent increased over time from 205,375 tourist nights in 2000 to 334,520
nights in 2004 which was the highest recorded over the period under review
declining annually to 249,690 in 2008. Similarly, total number of tourists
accommodated increased gradually over the period from 15,713 in 2000 to
43,560 in 2004 declining to 40,023 in 2005 and 35,670 in 2008.
It should be noted that information in this section is limited to major/bigger
hotels, motels and guest houses that have 15 or more rooms which are
mostly concentrated in the regional headquarter towns.

2.2.1 Hotel Occupancy Rates
It is also very important to measure the occupancy rate because it has
implications for both income and employment in the tourism industry. Lower
occupancy rate implies decline in demand for hotel rooms which means
accommodating fewer guest. This trend will impact negatively on
employment as hotel managers will likely cut down on payroll. The
occupancy rate is calculated as total rooms sold divided by total number of
rooms available in the hotel expressed as a percentage. Figure 1.5
illustrates occupancy rate for 2000 to 2008.
Figure 1.5:
Average Occupancy Rates from 2000 - 2008
Figure 1.5 above shows that there have been four consecutive annual
declines in the trend estimate of room occupancy rates for hotels, motels
and guest houses from 2000 to 2004. On average, the occupancy rate
dropped from 24.59% in 2000 to 20.91% in 2001 and further drop to 13.70%
in 2002. There was a further decline by 3.21 percentage point from 13.79%
in 2002 to 10.49% in 2003 and by 0.79 percentage point from 10.49% in
2003 to 9.7% in 2004. The continued fall or downward trend in the room
occupancy rate in the early 2000s was as a result of the fact that the
country just came out of civil war and foreign visitors were cautious to visit
the country.
Since 2005, the tourism industry began to pick up as shown by the
increases in the trend estimate of room occupancy rate for hotels, motels
and guest houses from 10.8% in 2005 to 22.96% in 2006 and marginally
increase by 0.87 percentage point from 22.96% in 2006 to 23.83% in 2007.
In 2008, there was a decline of more than 200% in the room occupancy rate
for hotels, motels and guest houses from 23.83% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2008
because data for the second half of 2008 was not made available to the
tourist board by NRA who took over the collection of levies from NTB in July
2008. By collecting levies directly from the establishments the NTB
collected and compiled statistics on occupancy rates, visitor profiles etc.
12
2.2.2 Registered/Licensed Establishments and Beds in Use (1999 to 2008)
The number of registered/licensed establishments operating in the tourist
industry gives us an indication of the structure of the industry particularly if
location factors and number of beds available are taken into consideration.
The information is very important not only to the Ministry of Tourism and
Culture but also to the general public and researchers. The information
provided shows the rate at which tourism industry has expanded over the
years. The end of the civil war in 2002 allowed for some investment in
hotels and similar establishments not only in Freetown but in other parts of
the country as well.
Figure 1.6 below shows the changes in the number of registered tourist
establishments over the period 1999 to 2008. It could be seen that the
number of registered tourist establishments increased from 107
establishments in 1999 to a peak of 244 establishments in 2005.
Figure 1.6:
Changes in the Number of Registered Tourist
Establishments (1999 – 2008)
When analysed by type of establishments, figure 1.7 below illustrates the
structure of the tourist industry in Sierra Leone. As shown on the graph,
there were more guest houses than hotels registered in 2007 and 2008 and
this is characteristic of all the previous years. There are very few tourist
handling agencies which is reflective of the volume of tourism related
activities in the country. The number of registered night clubs and bars is
low, probably due to the fact that many of these facilities operate in the
informal sector.
13
Figure 1.7:
Percentage Distribution of Type of Registered Tourist
Establishments in 2007 to 2008
There are more guest houses than hotels likely because many of the tourist
establishments that offer accommodation services do not meet the
standards established by the Sierra Leone Tourist Board to qualify for
classification as hotels.
2.2.3 Total Beds Available and Beds in Used in Hotels (2006-2008)
The total number of beds available in hotels and guest houses refer to all
beds available for rent as accommodation for tourists or guests including
those beds used by staff of these establishments and those temporally out
of use. Beds in use refer to those beds available for the accommodation of
guests or tourists. Figure 1.8 below shows total beds available and beds in
use in hotels and guest houses 2006 to 2008. The proportion of beds
available that were not in use was 3.1 percent in 2006, declined to 2.5
percent in 2007 and increased by 6.5 percent in 2008.
Table 1.8:
Number of Beds Available and Beds in use in 2006 – 2008
As shown on figure 1.8 above, the number of beds available increased
significantly from 2,642 in 2006 to 2,814 in 2007 and further increased to
3,156 in 2008, mainly due to construction of new facilities and refurbishment
of old ones .

3.0 TRENDS
IN
REVENUE
GENERATED
LEVIES AND REGISTRATION FEES
FROM
Tourism expenditure generates income to the host economy and can
stimulate the investment necessary to finance growth in other economic
sectors. Some countries seek to accelerate this growth by requiring visitors
to bring in a certain amount of foreign currency for each day of their stay.
Tourism is one of the top five export categories for as many as 83% of
countries and is a main source of foreign exchange earnings for at least
38% of countries. Direct contributions are generated by taxes on incomes
from tourism employment and tourism businesses, and by direct levies on
tourists such as departure taxes. Indirect contributions come from taxes
and duties levied on goods and services supplied to tourists.
For the purpose of this analysis, we present a picture of revenue generated
from two sources: levies and licensees/registration. The National Revenue
Authority (NRA) took over the collection of revenue generated from levies in
July 2008 (data for July to December 2008 was not available from NRA up
to the time of compilation). Figure 1.9 below illustrates trends in tourism
revenue generated from levies and registration/licenses fees over the period
1998 t0 2008. Tourism revenue particularly revenue generated from levies
sources increased significantly from year to year over the period except in
2008 when a decline was recorded. This may be attributed to incomplete
data due to the shift in the responsibility for the collection of tourism revenue
from the Tourist Board to the National Revenue Authority. The global
financial and food crisis in 2008 which affected the global tourism trade may
account for some part of the decline.
Figure 1.9:
Trends in Revenue Generated from Levies and
Registration/Licenses Fees in Million Leones
Over the eleven year period from 1998 to 2008, the total sum of
Le 2,975,468,673 was generated as tourism revenue in the form of levies
and registration fees/licenses. Of this, about 91% amounting to
Le 2,709,566,6430 was generated as revenue from Levies, while 8.9%
amounting to Le 265,902,030 was generated as revenue from registration
fees/licenses. (see appendix table 1.51)
15
3.1.
Employment in the Tourism Industry
The rapid expansion of international tourism has led to significant
employment creation all over the world. For example, the hotel
accommodation sector alone provided around 11.3 million jobs worldwide in
1995 (World Tourism record, 1998). Tourism can generate jobs directly
through hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, taxis, guest houses, casinos
and souvenir sales, and indirectly through the supply of goods and
services needed by tourism-related businesses. Tourism supports some
7% of the world's workers.
Figure 2.1 below illustrates the growth in employment in the tourism industry
in Sierra Leone over the period 1998 to 2008. Over the eleven year period,
total number of persons directly employed in all tourist establishments was
27,647 persons. On a year to year basis, total employment in the tourism
industry increased substantially from 1998 to 2005 declined thereafter but
picked up again in 2007 and in 2008, there were about 3,238 persons
employed in all type of tourist establishments in the country. Total
employment was low in 1998, likely because the country was still politically
unstable, with 819 persons employed in all tourist establishments, but by
2005 total employment in this sector was at its highest to date with 3,939
persons employed in the industry.
Figure 2.1:
Trends in Total Employment in the Tourism Industry
(1998 – 2008)
Figure 2.2 below shows that among the eight sources of employment in the
tourism sector, restaurant, guest houses and hotels were the leading
sources of employment in the Sierra Leone Tourism sector. What perhaps is
missing from the data is further disaggregation into age, sex and a brief
description of the type of jobs that are available in each source highlighted.
16

3.2
Expenditure by Visitors
Expenditures from international visitors more especially tourists generate
income to the host economy and can stimulate the investment necessary to
finance growth in other sectors of the economy.
An important indicator of the role of international visitors is its generation of
foreign exchange earnings.
Income from international visitors is one of the top five export categories for
as many as four-fifth of countries and is a main source of foreign exchange
earnings for almost two-fifth of countries world over.
Direct contributions by international visitors especially tourists are generated
by taxes on incomes from international visitors’ related employment and
businesses, and by direct levies on international visitors such as departure
taxes.
Indirect contributions come from taxes and duties levied on goods and
services supplied to foreign visitors. The World Trade Organisation
estimates that travel and tourism's taxes alone (direct, indirect, and personal
taxes) contributed over US$ 800 billion in 1998 and this figure it expected to
double by 2010. This sector should never be underestimated by any
government. Expenditure incurred by international visitors actually forms
part of the income of that nation since the monies spent in that country
become sources of income for most nationals connected to the international
travel/tourist industry either by way of employment, business or otherwise.
Figure 2.3 below shows the total expenditure incurred by visitors who visited
Sierra Leone from 2006-2008 classified by purpose of visit. Total
expenditures comprised of expenses on accommodation, food,
entertainment, transportation, souvenirs etc. The National Tourist Board
(NTB) estimated total expenditure as a product of average night spent per
visitor and average expenditure on all components.
17
As shown on figure 2.3 below tourism expenditure increased from year to
year during the period under review for all visitors. Total expenditure
increased from 54.7 Billion Leones (USD 18.5 Million) in 2006 to 73.6 Billion
Leones (24.7 Million USD) in 2007 and 81.01Billion Leones (27.2 Million
USD) in 2008.
Figure 2.3:
Total Expenditure in Million Leones by Arriving Visitors
by purpose of visit
From figure 2.3 above, we can see that visitors who came in for
conferences spent the least followed by those who came in for holidays.
The highest resources were spent by those visitors who are classified under
the category ‘others’. This pattern cuts across 2006, 2007 and 2008. The
category ‘others’ include those visitors arriving in the country who failed to
provide information on their purpose of visits. For correct classification,
immigration officers should make sure that immigrants clearly indicate their
purpose of visits on entering the country.
