RESPONSE: by Wellesley
Hey Priscilla,
You are welcome, thanks for taking the time to respond. It does mean a lot to hear from my readers, knowing that someone is finding the info useful.
For those who are not quite sure of what you and I are talking about, let me refer them to this article:
HOW MANY TOURISTS VISIT JAMAICA EACH YEAR.
I recommend that they review it and see for themselves.
In it we report all the visitor arrival statistics for Jamaica since 2003.
There is one thing I didn't mention though Priscilla!...
That's The Percentage Increase Over Prior Years!
The data states it clearly on the chart, but I thought I needed to point out that we over the 16 year period we averaged 3.85% increase year on year.
Important too is that four (4) of those years had negative increases...
- 2007
- 2008
- 2009
- and 2013!
And 2006, 2011 and 2017 recorded the highest increases over prior years, with...
- 15.33%
- 8.73%
- and 11.42% respectively
Also of note is the fact that despite the record increase in 2018, it was just a 0.99% increase over the prior year. Read more here.
Thanks again Pris.
