TOURISM STATISTICS REPORT 2016

REVISION 2


PREFACE

This report is a revised version of the report that was released on the 26th of September 2018. The revision is on Table1, Appendices 1-11 (arrivals) and Appendices 16-19 (departures). The revised figures are for the United States, Barbados and United States Minor Outlying States. The revision was necessitated by the need to correct erroneous recording of some travellers from the USA, having been recorded as being from Barbados and US Minor Outlying States.

This tourism annual report provides the latest statistics on both visitors and non-visitors during 2016 and follows the 2015 report released in December 2016.

The information contained in this publication is compiled from completed immigration embarkation forms. Travelers entering and leaving the country are required to complete arrival/departure forms at all gazetted points of entry/departure. This covers all land borders as well as airports.

The report shows that during 2016, total arrivals declined by 4.0 percent while tourists recorded an increase of 3.0 percent. Tourists accounted for 71.3 percent of total arrivals. Most tourists were in the age-group 30-34 years, accounting for 15.6 percent of total tourist arrivals during the year. This age-group also accounted for most of total arrivals at 15.4 percent.

Zimbabwe nationals accounted for 36.4 percent of inbound travellers followed by South Africa with 31.6 percent. Ramokgwebana Border post recorded the highest volume of arrivals at 19.8 percent, followed by Tlokweng Border Post with 12.0 percent of total inbound travellers. December registered the highest volume of arrivals at 10.8 percent, while February recorded the least at 6.4 percent.

Departures decreased by 12.8 percent from 2, 491, 386 recorded during 2015.

Users who require more information can contact the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations on 3671300. All Statistics Botswana outputs/publications are available on the website at www.statsbots.org.bw and at the Statistics Botswana Information Resource Centre (Head-Office, Gaborone). I sincerely thank all stakeholders involved in the formulation of this report, particularly the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for the administrative data used to compile this Tourism Statistics Annual Report. I also thank all other stakeholders for their continued support as we strive to better serve users of our services.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces the report by giving insight on the background, arrangement of the report and limitations of the data.

1.1 Background

The Tourism statistics report is an annual publication that depicts the statistics of non-citizens including temporary residents entering and leaving the country. The common terms used for these are Arrivals and Departures.

The statistics carried in this report include Arrivals and Departures of visitors and non-visitors by country and region of nationality, residence, purpose of entry, mode of travel used, point of entry and exit as well as gender and age distribution. The information contained in this report is derived from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Arrival/Departure forms, which are completed by non-citizens at points of entry and exit.

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has automated the busiest border posts which handle high volumes of traffic and is therefore able to provide Statistics Botswana with data electronically. These borders account for over 90 percent of all inbound and outbound travellers.

Forms from the non-automated borders are captured by Statistics Botswana and the information is then merged with those from the automated borders before analysis. Botswana citizens are exempt from completing the immigration Entry/Departure forms. The figures on Arrivals and Departures contained in this publication therefore only cover non-citizens, both visitors and temporary residents of Botswana. However, with the increasing demand for statistics on outbound travellers, including information on citizens, it will be necessary to collect and compile data on citizens in the future.

1.2 Arrangement of the Report This report categorises the travellers into two parts. The first part presents characteristics of visitors in Chapter 2. Visitors include tourists (overnight) and same-day visitors. Information related to visitors is carried in Chapter 2. The second part, which is presented in Chapter 3 focuses on all travellers entering and departing the country, regardless of whether they are visitors or non-visitors. Chapter 4 gives Sources and Methods and definitions of terms used in the report, while Chapter 5 contains appendices, consisting of main tables on which smaller tables and graphs, included in the body of the report are based.

1.3 Limitations of the Report

The focus of data collected is currently on non-citizens (temporary residents and foreign nationals) only. This report does not provide inbound and outbound data on citizens. As a consequence of having both automated and non-automated border posts in operation, it is not possible to calculate the length of stay of visitors even though data on the amount of time (days) granted is captured in the Immigration Entry/Departure forms. As people can enter the country through an automated border post but depart through a non-automated border post, this makes it difficult to calculate the actual length of stay in the country as data from automated and non-automated borders cannot be reconciled.


CHAPTER 2: TOURISTS

This chapter gives information on inbound visitors who came into the country in 2016. These visitors are classified into same-day visitors and tourists. Same-day visitors are mostly excursionists who take a trip that does not include an overnight stay at their destination, while tourists (overnight) represents visitors who spend at least a night at the country being visited. The chapter details statistics compiled according to country and region of residence, purpose of visit, mode of travel, month of visit, point of entry as well as the demographic characteristics of the visitor. In compilation of this report, half of transit travellers are regarded as visitors. This is taking into consideration the fact that some of these transit travellers end up having expenditure in the country as they are transiting. This expenditure may be incurred through having to spend a night in the country and/or any other expenditure. As a result, tourist statistics discussed here includes half of transit travellers. The country of residence is used as reference when compiling tourist statistics, as opposed to nationality.

2.1 Tourists by Country and Region of Residence

Appendices 1 and 2 are dedicated to tourists only. Appendix 1 gives both overnight tourists as well as same day tourists by country of residence as well as percentage distributions of total tourists at country level. Appendix 2 presents tourists by Country of Residence as well as Purpose of Visit. During 2016, Botswana received a total of 1,712,234 visitors, with 91.9 percent (1,574,213) accounted for by tourists (overnight visitors) and 8.1 percent (138,021) attributed to same-day visitors. The total number of tourists shows a 3.1 percent (52,032) iWncrease compared to 1,660,202 during the previous year. As can be seen from Appendix 1, most visitors came from Zimbabwe and South Africa, with the two countries contributing 35.0 percent (598,738) and 34.6 percent (591,907) respectively, of total visitors during the year. The majority of tourists, 87.4 percent (1,496,175), reside in the SADC Region.

2.2 Top Ten Overseas Countries

Figure 1, which is based on Table 1 and Appendix 1, shows that tourists from the top ten overseas countries make up 9.3 percent (158,573) of total tourists (1,712,234) during 2016.

Of the 158,573 tourists that came from the top ten overseas countries, more than a quarter, 28.9 percent (45,881) were from the United States of America followed by those from the United Kingdom and Germany at 18.4 percent (29,180) and 18.3 percent (29,064) respectively.

Figure 1: Distribution of Tourists from Top Ten Overseas Countries, 2016.

2.3 Top Ten SADC Countries

Figure 2 and Table 2 show the top ten countries in provision of tourists from the SADC Sub-continent. Tourists residing in the top ten countries of the SADC region make up 87.3 percent (1,494,599) of the total tourists during 2016. Zimbabwe and South Africa top this list at 40.1 percent (598,420) and 39.6 percent (591,907) respectively. Other countries can be observed on Table 2 and Figure 2.

Overnight Tourists constituted at least 90 percent of total tourists at country level for the top ten SADC countries, in the exception of Zambia and Namibia during the period under review. Day trippers from Zambia accounted for 62.3 percent of all day trippers from the ten leading SADC countries and 34.4 percent of total tourists from that country.

2.5 Tourists by Mode of Arrival

In 2016, three modes of travel; Road, Rail and Air were used. Road accounted for the highest percentage of tourist who came into the country at 93.0 percent (1,592,636), followed by those who flew-in at 7.0 percent (119,546). Rail Travel was recorded only in February for 52 tourist arrivals.

Table 4 shows Air Travel by major Airports, with Airstrips categorised as ‘Other”. Percentages for type of tourist by airport are calculated as a percentage of the total for individual type of tourist by air, while percentages for type of tourist by Air and Road are calculated as a percentage of total individual type of tourist.

Of all the tourist that came by air during 2016, 56.5 percent (67,492) entered the country through Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. These were followed by those who landed in Maun Airport at 28.8 percent (34,379). Tourist arrivals through Kasane airport accounted for 11.8 percent (14,064) of total Air arrivals.

A further analysis of Air travellers by purpose of entry shows that travellers who were visiting friends and family (VFR) and those who came on Business came in through SSK Airport; 87.4 percent for VFR and 92.0 percent for Business (Table 4). The tourists who came for Holiday purpose entered the country through Maun and Kasane airports mainly, with Maun accounting for 60.6 percent while Kasane received 22.4 percent of tourist arrivals who came for Holiday. This is because tourist attractions like the Moremi Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta and the Chobe National park are located in Ngamiland and Chobe districts where these two airports are located.

The In-transit arrivals came in mostly through Kasane Airport, with this airport constituting 73.2 percent of all Air Tourists who were In-Transit.

3.1 Purpose of EntryAppendix 6 shows the number of Arrivals by Country of Residence and Purpose of Entry. Figure 8 gives the graphical presentation of percentage distributions of arrivals by purpose of entry. Most of the Arrivals were those In-Transit. They make up 29.7 percent (712, 872) of total Arrivals. These are followed by those who came for Business and Visiting Friends & Relatives at 21.8 percent (524, 097) and 20.5 percent (492, 377) respectively. A few arrivals did not state their reason of visit, and these represented 0.5 percent (11,562) of total arrivals. This shows an improvement in the completeness of the data as compared to 2015 where 11.3 percent of Arrivals did not state the purpose for their visit.

“Other1”, mainly consisting of Arrivals for purposes of shopping, religious activities, conferencing, sports and medical reasons are not specifically labelled in the form but are understood to fall under category “Other - specify”. “Other2” in Figure 8 comprises those arriving for all other purposes not specified as in Appendix 5 and 6.

Zimbabweans accounted for the highest number of arrivals and departures at 874,179 (36.4 percent) and 835,564 (38.5 percent) respectively. Though the highest, these numbers show a decline of 9.6 percent (93, 153) for arrivals and 15.6 percent (154,434) for departures compared to nationals of Zimbabwe accounting for 967,322 arrivals and 989,998 departures during the previous year.

3.6 Border Posts

Figure 11 shows the top ten busiest Border Posts and is based on Appendices 13 and 20.

Ramokgwebana Border Post was the busiest border having received 19.8 percent (476, 707) of all arrivals and 19.4 percent (420,746) of all departures. This does not come as a surprise because most of the travellers recorded came into the country from Zimbabwe, see Appendix 4. This is followed by Tlokweng Border Post, which is used mainly, by those who reside in South Africa with 12.0 percent (287, 467) of Arrivals and 12.9 percent (279,504) departures.

CHAPTER 4: TECHNICAL NOTES

This chapter presents data sources, methodology and definitions of terms used in production of tourism statistics. This is meant to enable the users to interpret the statistics carried in the report with understanding of how the raw data is sourced, how processing and compilation of the report is done and what the various terms used in the report mean. 4.1 Data Source and Methodology

The data used in the production of this report is sourced from administrative records of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Over 90 percent of the data is electronically captured and provided to Statistics Botswana (SB) by this department. The busiest points of entry/exit, which handle high volumes of travellers, have been automated. The data is captured into the Passport and Border Control System (PBCS). The remaining percentage of the data is from the non-automated border entry points and it is manually captured by Data Processing staff at Statistics Botswana. These two datasets are then merged for processing.International Tourist data is collected using Arrival and Departure forms that are filled in by non-citizens at all the gazetted points of entry and exit (Land Borders and Airports). Each form asks questions on personal characteristics of the traveller which include among others, sex, age, country of nationality, country of residence and purpose of entry. By default data is also collected on month of travel, mode of transport and point of entry.Percentages are independently rounded, therefore in some cases they may not add to the total. The results and analysis presented in the report follow the guidelines, definitions and classifications recommended by United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC). This publication is produced in line with internationally accepted statistical standards and guidelines.
