PREFACE

This report is a revised version of the report that was released on the 7th of July 2020. The revision is on Table1.
The revised figures are the totals of the Top Ten Overseas Countries and All other Countries (the difference
between the Sub-Total and Grand Total). This in turn affects the percentage increase in the number of tourists
compared to the previous year and proportion of total tourists from the top ten overseas countries (3.1
instead of 3.5 percentage increase and 12.3 instead of 12.6 percent) highlighted in the Executive Summary
(1st Paragraph and 2nd paragraph respectively). The revision was necessitated by the need to correct the
erroneous recording of the overall totals in Table 1, however the individual country totals are correct.

This tourism annual report provides statistics on both visitors and non-visitors during 2018.

The information contained in this publication is compiled from completed immigration embarkation forms.
Non-citizen travellers 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.

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.

iv. TOURISM STATISTICS ANNUAL REPORT 2018


CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction

This report presents the statistics on arrivals and departures during 2018. The report is categorised into two
parts, the first part giving information on tourists only, while the second part presents information on all arrivals
and departures during the year under review.

1.1.1 Arrangement of the Report

This report categorises the travellers into two parts. The first part presents characteristics of visitors in Chapter 2.
The second part, presented in Chapter 3 focuses on all travellers entering and departing the country. Chapter
4 gives Sources, Methods and Definitions of terms used in the report, while Chapter 5 contains appendices,
consisting of detailed tables on which smaller tables and graphs, included in the body of the report are based.

1.1.2 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 actual 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.

1.2 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.

TOURISM STATISTICS ANNUAL REPORT 2018 1.


CHAPTER 2: TOURISTS

This chapter gives information on inbound visitors who came into the country in 2018. 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, 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.

Accordingly to World Tourism Organization guidelines for compilation of tourism statistics, 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 as opposed to nationality, is used as reference
when compiling tourist statistics.

2.1 Tourists by Country and Region of Residence

Appendices 1 and 2 are dedicated to tourists only. Appendix 1 gives both overnight tourists and 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 2018, Botswana received a total of 1,830,274 visitors, with 90.4 percent (1,654,638) accounted for by
tourists. The total number of tourists shows a 3.1 percent (55,314) increase compared to 1,774,960 during the
previous year. As can be seen from Appendices 1 and 2, most visitors came from South Africa and Zimbabwe,
with the two countries contributing 35.0 percent (639,867) and 29.5 percent (539,059) respectively, of the total
visitors during the year. The majority of tourists, 83.2 percent (1,522,256), reside in the SADC Region.

2.2 Tourists from Top Ten Overseas Countries

Table 1 which is based on Appendix 1, shows that the top ten overseas countries recorded 224,360 tourists,
accounting for 12.3 percent of total tourists (1,830,274) during 2018.

Of the 224,360 tourists that reside in the top ten overseas countries, more than a quarter, 28.6 percent (64,126),
were residing in the United States of America followed by those residing in Germany and the United Kingdom
at 18.8 percent (42,111) and 14.9 percent (33,392) respectively.

Overnight Tourists from the Top Ten Overseas Countries make more than 90 percent of the total tourists from
most of those countries, with the exception of the United States of America, France, Japan and Spain where
overnight tourists percentage contribution to total tourists were 89.5 percent, 85.9 percent, 78.6 percent and
88.8 percent respectively.

residing in the top ten countries of the SADC region make up 83.1 percent (1, 520,446) of the total tourists
during the year under review. This shows a decrease of 1.3 percentage points compared to the region’s
contribution of 84.4 percent during 2017. South Africa and Zimbabwe were the major contributors at 42.1
percent (639,867) and 35.5 percent (539,059) respectively.

Overnight Tourists constituted at least 90 percent of total tourists at country level for the top ten SADC countries,
with the exception of Zambia and Namibia. Zambia accounted for the highest number of Day trippers at 32.6
