Tourism Figures Show Record Arrivals in 2025
What happened
The Ministry of Tourism and the central bank jointly published detailed tourism figures on June 16, 2026. The Ministry of Tourism reported a record of about 12.5 million foreign visitor arrivals in 2025, which is more than 70% above the 2019 level. Roughly six in every seven arrivals came by sea, overwhelmingly on cruise ships, while fewer than two million arrived by air.

Why it matters
The reports distinguish between stopover visitors and cruise passengers. Stopover visitors, who stay at least one night, make up a minority of the total arrivals but account for the majority of visitor spending. This spending is a key driver of the national economy.
