Recent figures indicate a peak in visitor arrivals for the Seychelles and a strong outlook for the remainder of the year.
According to the latest figures from the Seychelles National Bureau of Statistics, the country welcomed 294 071 visitors from January 1 to November 3, 2024, a 1 increase compared with the same period last year.
The figures reveal a steady upward trend in visitor arrivals, with numbers consistently rising since mid-October. Following a slow performance in the second and third quarters, arrivals rebounded robustly from week 40 ending October 6, with weekly counts surpassing those of 2023 and 2022.
Notably, the week ending October 20 saw over 8 000 arrivals, and visitor numbers for week 44 were even 3 higher than the same period in the countrys best year, 2019.
European travellers account for 73 of the total visitor numbers for the year to date, highlighting Seychelles enduring appeal in Europe and reinforcing its status as a highly desirable destination in these markets.
