The data attributed the surge in tourist arrivals to the “strong performance” of both domestic and international tourism.
Domestic tourism recorded a staggering 167% increase while tourists coming from Italy increased by 23%. Arrivals from the UK increased by 56%, while those from France increased by 39%.
Meanwhile, visitors from Spain increased by 41%, while those coming from Belgium increased by 39%.
