iii 1.0 INTRODUCTION

Tourism is arguably the largest industry and one of the fastest growing industries in the World today. It is estimated to represent over 4 trillion dollars, or 10 percent of the World’s Gross Domestic Product (WTTC Stat.2006). The industry supplies over 230 million jobs and over $800 billion in tax revenues internationally (UN/WTO Stat.2007). Tourism is a major generator of foreign exchange revenues and facilitates regional and international trade and investment linkages. It is the principal Foreign Exchange earner and the backbone of the economy of many small states and island states like the Gambia, Seychelles, Maldives, etc.

Sierra Leone has strong potentials for tourism industry. It has excellent beaches and islands, mountains and rich biodiversity, interesting wildlife, friendliness of the people and rich socio-cultural heritage; and it occupies a special place in the world history of anti-slavery movement as ‘the land of freedom’ – hence the name Freetown of it’s Capital City.

Since the 1980s, the country has been developing a small but, a thriving tourism industry. The end of the civil conflict in 2002 led to renewed arrivals by business travelers, as well as members of the Diaspora visiting friends and relatives. This in turn has stimulated some investment in the hotel and guesthouse infrastructure in Freetown. For example, the Chinese investment in Bintumani Hotel; the NASSIT investment in Tourism infrastructure and the construction of new hotels such as Hotel Bamoi, and Hotel Kimbima, etc by other domestic investors all form part of increased investment in the tourism sector in the country.

Within the framework of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS), the Government of Sierra Leone in 2008 approved the deployment of Statisticians from Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) to eight line ministries including the Ministry of Tourism to help collect and compile statistical indicators in support of decision-making. This bulletin is part of the effort under the NSDS to provide data on the Tourism industry in Sierra Leone. This Bulletin is the first in a series of bulletins that will follow year after year. Consequently, data included in this bulletin have an official character. Therefore, any correction or changes received after this will be included in the next edition of the Bulletin. The main topics covered in this bulletin include data on tourist arrivals, country of origin of tourists, hotel occupancy rates, tourist expenditure etc.

1.1 The Legal and Strategic Context of Tourism Development in Sierra Leone

The Government of Sierra Leone recognizing the importance of tourism development established the Hotels and Tourist Board in 1964. In these early years, the growth and development of the tourism industry in the country was relatively slow and lacked a specific direction. There was no Act or policy to guide tourism development in the country. Key industry actors were left wholly unregulated. This state of affairs continued for close to a

1 decade. In 1973, however, the GoSL decided to establish the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (MoTCA) in order to harness the immense tourism potential in Sierra Leone, ensuring further socio-economic growth in a regulated framework. The Hotels and Tourist Board became an integral part of MoTCA in 1975.

1.2 The Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (MoTCA)

Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs is responsible for policy formulation on tourism and culture. The Ministry’s broad objectives are to promote sustainable tourism as a means of economic growth and socio-cultural integration and to promote Sierra Leone as an environmentally friendly tourist destination. It aims at building the image of Sierra Leone abroad as a country with a glorious past, and a vibrant future. It also aims at preserving, protecting and promoting cultural diversity with a view to reviving and strengthening national consciousness, understanding and appreciating the cultural heritage and Artistic creativity of the Sierra Leonean People.

1.2.1 Policy Objectives of the Ministry

The overall policy objectives of the Ministry of Tourism include the following:-

• Ensure that appropriate tourism policy including regulatory and legislative framework are put in place.

• Encourage the development of tourism activities that are geared towards enhancing Sierra Leone’s image as middle and up-market destination as well as protecting the environment for sustainable tourism development.

• Encourage the provision of adequately trained and qualified manpower to service the Tourism and Hospitality industry at all levels by developing a comprehensive human resource development programme for the sector.

• Encourage investment in the sector by indigenous and foreign entrepreneurs.

• To ensure the preservation and conservation of the physical and cultural heritage site of the country.

• To pursue an effective market strategy for promoting Sierra Leone as a Tourism Destination worldwide.

On February 21st 1991, Sierra Leone’s Parliament passed the Development of Tourism Act 1990 which aimed ‘to make new and better provisions for the promotion and development of tourism in Sierra Leone’. This Act established the National Tourist Board (NTB) as a corporate body to be supervised by the MoTCA

1.3 The National Tourist Board of Sierra Leone

On February 21st 1991, Sierra Leone’s Parliament passed the Development of Tourism Act 1990 which aimed ‘to make new and better provisions for the promotion and development of tourism in Sierra Leone’. This Act established the National Tourist Board (NTB) as a corporate body to be supervised by the MoTCA.

As articulated in Part II Section 9 of the Act, the general mandate of the NTB is to develop all aspects of the tourist industry in Sierra Leone, to promote its efficiency and a high international standard of facilities. The NTB is further responsible for undertaking a wide range of functions including research, experiments and operations to determine the impact of tourism policies, classifying tourist facilities including hotels, casinos and night clubs, registering and licensing of these tourist facilities, recommending the declaration of National Tourism Development Assets to the Government and providing or ensuring the provision of training for tourism industry employees, among others.

Importantly, the NTB serves as a bridge between the public and private sectors, and liaises with various institutions and key stakeholders in order to carry out its mandate effectively. Although no amendments have been made to the Act since it was approved by Parliament in 1991, critical recommendations were put forward in 2008 which indicate a pressing need to review and update the legislation.

The National Tourist Board began operating in November 1991. It is a semi- autonomous body and a professional arm of the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. The European Commission (EC) through a Tourism Development Project provided financial support for the initial set-up and organization of the NTB.

1.3.1 Services Provided by the Board

The National Tourist Board plays a leading role in the promotion and development of Sierra Leone’s tourism industry, particularly given the low capacity of the private sector in providing tourism related services. In the absence of private sector services, the NTB is filling the gap by undertaking a wide range of activities from training (both technical and managerial) to producing top quality brochures, websites and other promotional marketing tools. The main services provided by the NTB in Sierra Leone are as follows:

• Implementing Government tourism policies • Developing and promoting sustainable tourism products • Developing and executing appropriate marketing campaigns • Designing and disseminating promotional materials • Facilitating private investment in the tourism industry • Assessing, licensing and classifying all tourist establishments

3 • Monitoring the operations of all tourist establishments to ensure quality services in compliance with ECOWAS Standards of Classification of Tourist Establishments.

1.4 New Tourism Strategic Action Plan

There are on-going policy review activities in the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs - for instance the Integrated Framework Tourism Project (IFTP) which has three components – 1). A Tourism Strategic Action Plan document has been developed and validated, 2). The Tour Guide Training Programme is on-going and 3). The Marketing Program implementation is also on-going, and is being sponsored by the World Bank, UNCTAD, UNDP, etc and being implemented by Ministry of Tourism and the National Tourist Board.

1.5 Strategic Policies/Regulations and Action Plan for the tourism Sector (2009 -2014)

1.5.1 Key Government Policies & Regulations

The government of Sierra Leone in its bid to develop the tourism industry in Sierra Leone has put in place the following strategic policies as enshrined in the 2009 Draft National Investment Policy:

1. 5 years exemption from corporate tax, limited to 150 percent of eligible expenditures of the original capital invested

2. Duty free for new construction, extension or renovation of existing tourism related facilities ; applicable to building materials, machinery, or equipment that is not easily available in Sierra Leone

3. Exemption from payroll taxes for 3 years for up to six non-citizen employees with skills not available in the country.

4. Attractive tax incentives and services are also provided by other sectors that will encourage investment in the tourism sector.

5. Stakeholders & investor coordination to restore Bunce Island Facilities

6. Develop exhibition on Slavery in Sierra Leone; networking with African-Americans in the Diaspora – Thus promoting ROOTS TOURISM

7. Market awareness – Increase knowledge about Sierra Leone Tourism potentials nationally and internationally through aggressive marketing campaign.

4

1.5.2 Strategies/Activities of the tourism sector (2009-2014)

In order to achieve the aforementioned policies, the following strategies/activities have been stipulated in the validated Strategic Tourism Action Plan:

1. Target Tourism Product and Market Development around the Western Area Peninsula – a platform for job creation and income generation, and environmental conservation drive;

2. Institutional Capacity Building within the Ministry of Tourism, National Tourist Board and the Hotel/Tourism School to improve service delivery;

3. Government reforms to ease difficulties of investing in Sierra Leone; so that the reform will stimulate investment opportunities within the Tourism Sector;

4. Review and upgrade tourism related regulations – review of the 1990 Tourism Development Act, establishment of a Land Adjudication Mechanism for Targeted Tourism Development Areas.

1.6 Comparative Advantage of Sierra Leone as Unique Tourist Destination

Sierra Leone enjoys several advantages, which augur well for the development of a leisure, adventure and cultural heritage tourism segments. Some of these advantages are:

• Its outstanding crystal white and golden beaches with dramatic tropical and mountainous backdrop;

• Tropical environment and scenery (mountains, forests, rivers, coastline, islands) and nature (birds, flora and fauna). Sierra Leone has interesting wildlife, and could tap into the rapidly growing bird-watching niche tourism market;

• Proximity to Northern Europe – a 5-6 hour flight, which puts it closer than the Caribbean, the Maldives and Mauritius;

• Warm and fairly dry weather during the European winter,

• Interesting heritage and tribal history, which can be built into an attractive ‘story’ for Europeans, African-Americans and the Diaspora;

• Diamonds, which offer a special ‘attraction’ as well as a potential buying opportunity.

Despite the country’s ‘touristic’ advantages particularly its proximity to Europe, tourism in Sierra Leone has developed relatively slowly, partly as a result of the relatively unstable political environment that has existed in much

5 of the post independence era. While other countries in the sub-region like Ghana, Senegal and the Gambia have a relatively viable tourism sector, Sierra Leone is still struggling with less than five hundred thousand visitors from Europe and America every year (NTB Stat.)

6 1.7 The Private Sector and the Tourism Industry in Sierra Leone

The private sector in recognizing the tourism potential in Sierra Leone, has demonstrated keen interest in the sector by establishing hotels, guesthouses, tourism facilitating agencies etc. Given the urgent need for employment creation and the limited capacity of the country’s mining and manufacturing sectors to generate enough jobs, Sierra Leone would do better if it diversifies its economy through the development and promotion of a viable tourism industry.

The major opportunity for Sierra Leone is in the development of beach tourism. While there is considerable local entrepreneurship, there is a lack of capital for larger hotel projects, and a lack of experience in managing/marketing leisure hotels. Investment in this sector would probably have to involve some overseas investors; and could be stimulated by joint ventures in which the Government develops the site (the Western Peninsula offers the best prospects) and the local private sector provides some equity capital and local knowledge, while the foreign partner may bring expertise and additional capital, including the credibility needed to attract loan finance.

The substantial stock of existing hotel accommodation remains an issue for the future development of tourism as most of the stock requires improvement. Tax breaks, classification schemes and regulatory standards will help improve the stock, as well as taking some of it off the market. There is a substantial stock of small accommodation units, many operating with very low occupancies. There is a need for a scheme to help such units improve their standards, bring some of them together to gain economies in marketing, and help them appreciate where potential market segments exist, where they can be reached and what product they need to offer.

After many years of economic decline and civil war, there is a wide range of needs such as employment, revenue, quality infrastructure, electricity, water, etc. Some of these are gradually being improved as part of the general recovery program, while others will have to be managed by private investors. However, it will take a long time to tackle all the infrastructure problems, and in the meantime priorities have to be set. One recommendation to promote the tourism sector is to reflect the needs of the sector in the investment and maintenance programs of the relevant Ministries. For example, the construction of the road along the Western Peninsula will promote tourism. Although this project is a top priority for the tourism industry, its construction is largely out of the control of the tourism industry.

8 2.0 TOURISTS/VISITOR’S ARRIVALS (1988-2008)

The number of arrivals includes all those persons disembarking at the Freetown International Airport in Lungi, which includes non-Nationals as well as Sierra Leoneans who are holders of dual citizenship. This category however, excludes Sierra Leone nationals returning from conferences, workshops, studies, medical check-ups and business trips from abroad. The data also excludes arrivals by road or sea. The data is disaggregated by year, place of origin of arrivals and the purpose of visit to Sierra Leone.

Figure 1.1 below illustrates the trend in the total number of visitors over the period 1988 to 2010. As shown on the graph the number of visitors increased steadily since 2000 and reached a peak in 2004, when the highest number of visitors to Sierra Leone was recorded. The steady increase in the number of visitors since 2000 could be attributed to the peace that prevailed in the country following the signing of the Lome Peace Accord, which brought the civil war to an end. As a result, the arrival of UN Peace Keepers did not only boost the number of arrivals but also attracted many NGOs and other humanitarian workers into the country at that time.

Figure 1.1: Total Numbers of Visitors (1988 – 2010)

However, by the end of 2004 the phase withdrawal of the UN Peace Keepers began, and the activities of NGOs were scaled down as a result of the decline in the need for relief activities. These two factors accounted for the decline in the number of visitors into the country since 2005. The lowest recorded number of visitors was in 1997 mainly due to the May 27 coup of the Arm Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), which attracted both regional and international sanctions, and hence restricted the movement of persons and goods to and from Sierra Leone. Since 2007 the number of visitors has been steadily increasing; the low recorded number of visitors in 2007 could be due to the uncertainty of violence surrounding the presidential and

9 parliamentary elections of that year.Since 2008 the number of arrivals increased significantly from year to year over the period.

Figure 1.2: Total Numbers of Arrivals by Purpose (1998 - 2010)

Figure 1.2 shows that between 1988 and 1993 holiday was the main reason why visitors came to Sierra Leone; while ‘business’ was also a popular reason over the period . ‘Other’ became a popular reason mostly between 2003 and 2008. However, ‘other’ as a reason comprises of a whole range of hidden reasons, including missing information on purpose of visit. Visiting friends and families is also a popular reason for visitors. However, among the expressed reasons for visiting the country, ‘conference’ is the least for the period under review. This could be attributed to a combination of factors including the insecurity created by the war, the lack of modern conference- related infrastructure, and the location of the main international airport in Lungi across the sea that limit access to Freetown, the capital city where most conference facilities are located. However, this reason improved in 2009 and 2010, which could be due to the rebranding effort of the government, which saw many international conferences been hosted in Freetown.

2.1 Arrivals by Region As shown on figure 1.3 below, there were more arrivals in 2008 than in 2009 and 2010.

10 Figure 1.3 Region of Origin of Visitors

In each case however, arrivals from European countries were far more than arrivals from other regions; the re-branding effort of the Sierra Leone Government since the end of the war in 2002 so that the country is seen as a tourist destination coupled with its closer proximity to Europe than America might be responsible for the higher proportion from this region. Arrivals from ECOWAS countries constitute the second largest bloc, followed by America and Asia.

2.2 Overnight Stay in Hotels and Similar Establishments The total number of overnights stayed in tourist establishments is the product of the number of nights spent by each tourist from the date of arrival to the date of departure and the total number of tourist accommodated in hotels or guest houses during the period. This information is important especially to the National Revenue Authority (NRA) because it is one of the key elements that determine how much revenue is generated from the tourism industry. 15 percent of the amount paid by each tourist per room per night as hotel fees is paid to the NRA as tax which form part of the revenue generated by the tourism industry. Therefore for the same number of tourists per year the longer the tourist stay in the hotel, the more revenue is generated by the tourism industry. During the period under review, the average number of nights spent per tourist increased from five nights in 2000 to seven nights in 2005 and has remained at seven nights per tourist up to 2010.

From Figure 1.4 below it can be estimated that the total number of nights spent increased over time from 205,375 tourist nights in 2000 to 334,520 nights in 2004 which was the highest recorded over the period under review declining annually to 225,561in 2007; but increase steadily to 270,305 in 2010. Similarly, total number of tourists accommodated increased gradually over the period from 15,713 in 2000 to 43,560 in 2004 declining to 32,223 in 2007, but increased steadily to 38,615 in 2010.

It should be noted that information in this section is limited to major/bigger hotels, motels and guest houses that have 15 or more rooms which are mostly concentrated in the regional headquarter towns.

11 Figure 1.4 Total Number of Tourists Accommodated Compared to Total number of nights Spent in Hotels

12 2.2.1 Hotel Occupancy Rates

It is also very important to measure the occupancy rate because it has implications for both income and employment in the tourism industry. Lower occupancy rate implies decline in demand for hotel rooms which means accommodating fewer guest. This trend will impact negatively on employment as hotel managers will likely cut down on payroll. The occupancy rate is calculated as total rooms sold divided by total number of rooms available in the hotel expressed as a percentage. Figure 1.5 illustrates occupancy rate for 2000 to 2010.

Figure 1.5: Average Occupancy Rates from 2000 - 2010

Figure 1.5 above shows that there have been four consecutive annual declines in the trend estimate of room occupancy rates for hotels, motels and guest houses from 2000 to 2004. On average, the occupancy rate dropped from 24.6% in 2000 to 20.9% in 2001 and further drop to 9.7% in 2004 due to the stigma of the country civil war. There was a further decline from 23.8% in 2007 to 10.2% due mainly to the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, which affected global incomes and hence tourism related travels all over the world.

Since 2005, the tourism industry began to pick up as shown by the increases in the trend estimate of room occupancy rate for hotels, motels and guest houses from 10.8% in 2005 to 22.96% in 2006 and marginally increase by 0.87 percentage point from 22.96% in 2006 to 23.83% in 2007.

In 2010, there was an improvement in the occupancy rate, which suggests a recovery of the tourism sector from the negative impact of the 2008/2009 global financial and economic crisis.

2.2.2 Registered/Licensed Establishments and Beds in Use (1999 to 2008)

The number of registered/licensed establishments operating in the tourist industry gives us an indication of the structure of the industry particularly if location factors and number of beds available are taken into consideration. The information is very important not only to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture but also to the general public and researchers. The information provided shows the rate at which tourism industry has expanded over the years. The end of the civil war in 2002 allowed for some investment in hotels and similar establishments not only in Freetown but in other parts of the country as well.

Figure 1.6 below shows the changes in the number of registered tourist establishments over the period 2000 to 2010. It could be seen that the number of registered tourist establishments increased from 120 establishments in 2000 to a peak of 244 establishments in 2005.

Figure 1.6: Changes in the Number of Registered Tourist Establishments (2000 – 2010)

When analysed by type of establishments, figure 1.7 below illustrates the structure of the tourist industry in Sierra Leone. As shown on the graph, there were more guest houses than hotels registered in 2009 and 2010 and this is characteristic of all the previous years. There are very few tourist handling agencies which is reflective of the volume of tourism related activities in the country. The number of registered night clubs and bars is low, probably due to the fact that many of these facilities operate in the informal sector.

14 Figure 1.7: Percentage Distribution of Type of Registered Tourist Establishments in 2009 to 2010

There are more guest houses than hotels likely because many of the tourist establishments that offer accommodation services do not meet the standards established by the National Tourist Board (NTB) to qualify for classification as hotels. This underscores the snail pace of significant private investment in the tourism sector of the economy.

2.2.3 Total Beds Available and Beds in Used in Hotels (2008-2010)

The total number of beds available in hotels and guest houses refer to all beds available for rent as accommodation for tourists or guests including those beds used by staff of these establishments and those temporally out of use. Beds in use refer to those beds available for the accommodation of guests or tourists. Figure 1.8 below shows total beds available and beds in use in hotels and guest houses 2008 to 2010.

Table 1.8: Number of Beds Available and Beds in use in 2008 – 2010

As shown on figure 1.8 above, the number of beds available increased gradually from 3,156 in 2008 to 4,829 in 2009 and further increased to 3,255 in 2010, mainly due to construction of new facilities and refurbishment of old ones . The number of bed in use also increased gradually during the period under review.

15 3.0 TRENDS IN REVENUE GENERATED FROM LEVIES AND REGISTRATION FEES

Tourism expenditure generates income to the host economy and can stimulate the investment necessary to finance growth in other economic sectors. Some countries seek to accelerate this growth by requiring visitors to bring in a certain amount of foreign currency for each day of their stay. Tourism is one of the top five export categories for as many as 83% of countries and is a main source of foreign exchange earnings for at least 38% of countries. Direct contributions are generated by taxes on incomes from tourism employment and tourism businesses, and by direct levies on tourists such as departure taxes. Indirect contributions come from taxes and duties levied on goods and services supplied to tourists.

For the purpose of this analysis, we present a picture of revenue generated from two sources: levies and licensees/registration. The National Revenue Authority (NRA) took over the collection of revenue generated from levies in July 2008 which data could only be captured from the entertainment tax. Figure 1.9 below illustrates trends in tourism revenue generated from levies and registration/licenses fees over the period 1998 t0 2010. Tourism revenue particularly revenue generated from levies sources increased significantly from year to year over the period except in 2008 when a decline was recorded. The global financial and food crisis in 2008 and 2009, which affected the global tourism trade may account for some part of the decline.

Figure 1.9: Trends in Revenue Generated from Levies and Registration/Licenses Fees in Million Leones

Over the eleven year period from 2000 to 2010, the total sum of Le 2,975,468,673 was generated as tourism revenue in the form of levies and registration fees/licenses. Of this, about 91% amounting to Le 2,928,094,000 was generated as revenue from Levies, while 11.8% amounting to Le 391,586,000 was generated as revenue from registration fees/licenses. (see appendix table 1.51)

16 3.1. Employment in the Tourism Industry

The rapid expansion of international tourism has led to significant employment creation all over the world. For example, the hotel accommodation sector alone provided around 11.3 million jobs worldwide in 1995 (World Tourism record, 1998). Tourism can generate jobs directly through hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, taxis, guest houses, casinos and souvenir sales, and indirectly through the supply of goods and services needed by tourism-related businesses. Tourism supports some 7% of the world's workers.

Figure 2.1 below illustrates the growth in employment in the tourism industry in Sierra Leone over the period 2000 to 2010. Over the eleven year period, total number of persons directly employed in all tourist establishments was 32,790 persons. On a year to year basis, total employment in the tourism industry increased substantially from 2000 to 2005 declined thereafter but picked up again in 2007 and in 2008, dipped in 2009 but picked up in 2010. Total employment was low in 2000, likely because the country was still politically unstable, but picked up as the country became more and more stable.

Figure 2.1: Trends in Total Employment in the Tourism Industry (2000 – 2010)

Figure 2.2 below shows that among the eight sources of employment in the tourism sector, restaurant, guest houses and hotels were the leading sources of employment in the Sierra Leone Tourism sector. What perhaps is missing from the data is further disaggregation into age, sex and a brief description of the type of jobs that are available in each source highlighted.

3.2 Expenditure by Visitors

Expenditures from international visitors more especially tourists generate income to the host economy and can stimulate the investment necessary to finance growth in other sectors of the economy. An important indicator of the role of international visitors is its generation of foreign exchange earnings.

Income from international visitors is one of the top five export categories for as many as four-fifth of countries and is a main source of foreign exchange earnings for almost two-fifth of countries world over.

Direct contributions by international visitors especially tourists are generated by taxes on incomes from international visitors’ related employment and businesses, and by direct levies on international visitors such as departure taxes.

Indirect contributions come from taxes and duties levied on goods and services supplied to foreign visitors. The World Trade Organisation estimates that travel and tourism's taxes alone (direct, indirect, and personal taxes) contributed over US$ 800 billion in 1998 and this figure it expected to double by 2010. This sector should never be underestimated by any government. Expenditure incurred by international visitors actually forms part of the income of that nation since the monies spent in that country become sources of income for most nationals connected to the international travel/tourist industry either by way of employment, business or otherwise.

Figure 2.3 below shows the total expenditure incurred by visitors who visited Sierra Leone from 2007-2009 classified by purpose of visit. Total expenditures comprised of expenses on accommodation, food, entertainment, transportation, souvenirs etc. The National Tourist Board

18 (NTB) estimated total expenditure as a product of average night spent per visitor and average expenditure on all components.

As shown on figure 2.3 below tourism expenditure increased from year to year during the period under review for all visitors. Total expenditure increased from USD 24.7 Million in 2007 to USD 27.2 Million in 2008 and declined slightly to USD 26.0 Million in 2009 partly due to the financial crisis of 2009.

Figure 2.3: Total Expenditure in Million Leones by Arriving Visitors by purpose of visit

From figure 2.3 above, we can see that visitors who came in for conferences spent the least followed by those who came in for holidays. The highest resources were spent by those visitors who are classified under the category ‘others’. This pattern cuts across 2007 and 2008. The category ‘others’ include those visitors arriving in the country who failed to provide information on their purpose of visits. For correct classification, immigration officers should make sure that immigrants clearly indicate their purpose of visits on entering the country. In 2009 however, those visiting for business spent the most, followed by those visiting for holiday.
