ZANZIBAR END OF YEAR TOURISM ARRIVALS STATISTICS – 2012
End of year arrivals statistics from the Air port from overseas flights and from the sea port for 2012 totaled 168,223. A comparison with 2011 which received
175,067 visitors shows a 6,844 drop last year, affecting the months of July, august, September, November and December, and for the most part attributed to the economic downturn and its effect on southern Europe, particularly the Italian market.

Over half our direct arrivals in Zanzibar are from Europe, with 50% of them arriving from Italy.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE STATISTICS ARE ONLY FOR THE DIRECT AIR ARRIVALS AND SOME SEAPORT ARRIVALS AND DO NOT INCLUDE THOSE TOURISTS WHO COME TO RELAX IN ZANZIBAR AFTER A SAFARI ON THE TANZANIAN MAINLAND.
WE ESTIMATE THE CORRECT NUMBER COULD BE AS MUCH AS DOUBLE THIS NUMBER AFTER ADDING ARRIVALS FROM MAINLAND TANZANIA.
