(Seychelles News Agency) - Seychelles saw a six-fold growth in visitor arrivals from the first quarter to the second, a surge that a top government official called encouraging.
According to figures published by the National Bureau of Statistics this week, 43,659 visitors arrived in Seychelles during the second quarter of 2021, compared with 6,785 in the first quarter.
This means that from January to June 2021, Seychelles welcomed over 50,000 visitors to its shores.

Since the reopening of Seychelles' borders to commercial passenger flights on March 25, the island nation in the western Indian Ocean has welcomed 59,218 visitors.
Francis said that the rolling day average since March 25 is 510 visitors per day.
"This is half of what we were doing in 2019. On July 20, we had one of the best days since we reopened our borders, where we had 8,580 visitors present in the country. This is linked to the Eid Holiday, where we get a lot of visitors from the Middle East. During a good year like 2019, we have an average of 10,000 visitors in the country at any given time. This figure goes up to 15,000 on special days such as Christmas and Easter," said Francis.
