Tourism Statistics Annual Report 20178
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
This report presents the most recent statistics on arrivals and departures during 2017. 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 and Methods and definitions of terms used in the report, while Chapter 5 contains appendices, consisting of main 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 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 that from the automated borders before analysis. Botswana citizens are exempted 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 future.
Tourism Statistics Annual Report 2017 9
CHAPTER 2: TOURISTS
This chapter gives information on inbound visitors who came into the country in 2017. 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 at their destination, 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.
In compilation of this report, 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 2017, Botswana received a total of 1,774,960 visitors, with 91.4 percent (1,622,588) accounted for by tourists (overnight visitors) while 8.6 percent (152,372) was attributed to same-day visitors. The total number of tourists shows a 3.7 percent (62,726) increase compared to 1,712,234 during the previous year. As can be seen from Appendices 1 and 2, most visitors came from Zimbabwe and South Africa, with the two countries contributing 33.4 percent (592,226) and 32.9 percent (583,930) respectively, of the total visitors during the year. The majority of tourists, 84.5 percent (1,499,043), reside in the SADC Region.
2.2 Top Ten Leading Overseas Countries
Table 1 which is based on Appendix 1, shows that the top ten overseas countries recorded 202,884 tourists, accounting for 11.4 percent of total tourists (1,774,960) during 2017.
Of the 202,884 tourists that came from the top ten overseas countries, more than a quarter, 26.0 percent (52,733) were from the United States of America followed by those from Germany and the United Kingdom at 21.7 percent (44,059) and 14.1 percent (28,600) respectively.
Overnight Tourists from the Top Ten Overseas Countries make more than 90 percent of the total tourists from each of those countries. With respect to United States of America, France, Canada and Japan, overnight tourists’ percentage contribution to total tourists were 88.0 percent, 89.4 percent, 89.6 percent and 82.8 percent in that order.

2.4 Tourists by Purpose of Entry
Table 3 presents the number of tourists by purpose of entry as well as associated percentage distributions. Compared to the previous year, 2017 recorded an increase of 3.7 percent (62, 726) in the total number of tourists, from 1,712,234 during 2016 to 1,774,960 currently. A significant increase in purpose of entry was observed for those on ‘Holiday’, at 81.8 percent (225, 992) from 276, 317 in 2016 to 502,309 currently. Decreases were recorded for ‘Visiting Friends & Relatives’ and Business at 23.5 percent (93, 709) from 492, 377 to 398, 668 and 21.4 percent (112, 117) from 524, 097 to 411, 980 respectively, when comparing situations in 2016 and 2017.
There has been an increase in the number of tourists who came for purposes of “Religious, Conferencing, Sports, Medical & Shopping activities” which are grouped together under one category called ‘Other’ Purposes. The number of tourists has increased two fold from 63, 007 in 2016 to 156, 756 in 2017. These tourists represented 8.8 percent of all tourists who came to Botswana during the year under review. In 2017 most of the Tourists came for Holiday at 28.3 percent (502, 309) followed by those who were on Business at 23.2 percent (411, 980).
2.5 Tourists by Mode of Arrival
Table 4 presents tourists by mode of travel. There are mainly three modes of travel used in Botswana; these being Road, Rail and Air. Air Travel is presented by major Airports, with Airstrips grouped together under one category called ‘Other”. Percentages distributions for type of tourist by airport are calculated as a percentage of the total for individual type of tourist by air, while percentages for type of tourist by Air and Road are calculated as a percentage of the overall total of tourists.
Road accounted for the highest percentage of tourist who came into the country at 93.3 percent (1,655,489), followed by those who flew-in at 6.7 percent (119,409). Air travel showed a slight decline of 0.1 percent (137) from 119, 546 in 2016 to 119,409 currently. Rail Travel recorded 62 tourist arrivals compared to 52 arrivals in 2016.A total of 119, 409 tourists came by air transport representing 6.7 percent of all tourists. Majority of tourists travelling by air, 54.4 percent (64,933) entered the country through Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. These were followed by those who landed in Maun Airport at 29.9 percent (35,650). Tourist arrivals through Kasane airport accounted for 12.3 percent (14,664) of total Air arrivals.
A further analysis of Air travellers by purpose of entry shows that most of the tourists who were Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) came through SSK Airport, at 85.0 percent of visitors who came for that purpose by air. Those who came for Business through SSK Airport accounted for 92.1 percent of all tourists arriving for that purpose by air (Table 4). The tourists who came for Holiday purpose entered the country through Maun and Kasane airports mainly, with Maun accounting for 57.5 percent while Kasane received 20.0 percent of tourist arrivals who came for Holiday by air. This scenario owes to the proximity of these two airports to the major tourist attractions of Moremi Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park.
The In-transit arrivals came in mostly through Kasane Airport, with this airport constituting 86.3 percent of all Air Tourists who were In-Transit. Sir Seretse Khama International Airport accounted for the bulk of ‘Other’ visitors at 82.1 percent. This is due to Gaborone as the main entry point for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Meetings (MICE) from both regional and international visitors.

3.1 Purpose of Entry
Appendix 6 shows the number of Arrivals by Country of Residence and Purpose of Entry. Figure 8 gives the graphical presentation of percentage distributions of arrivals by purpose of entry. Most of the Arrivals were those In-Transit. They make up 26.2 percent (603, 206) of total Arrivals. These are followed by those who came for Holiday and Business at 21.8 percent (502, 309) and 17.9 percent (411, 980) respectively. A few arrivals did not state their reason of visit, and these represented 0.1 percent (1,821) of total arrivals (2,305,205). This shows some improvement in the completeness of the data as compared to 2016 where 0.5 percent (11,562) of Arrivals (2,401,786) did not state the purpose for their visit.
In Figure 8, “Other1”, mainly consists of Arrivals for purposes of shopping, religious activities, conferencing, sports and medical reasons, which are not specifically labelled in the form but are understood to fall under category “Other - specify”. “Other2” comprises those arriving for all other purposes not specified as in Appendices 5 and 6.

3.6 Border Posts
Discussion on Border Posts is based on Appendices 13 and 20. Ramokgwebana Border Post was the busiest border having received 21.9 percent (505, 680) of all arrivals and 19.9 percent (460,015) of all departures. This is expected as most of the travellers recorded came into the country from Zimbabwe, see Appendix 4. Tlokweng Border Post, which is used mainly, by those who reside in South Africa, follows with 12.0 percent (275, 586) of Arrivals and 12.3 percent (284,643) departures. The third busiest border post for Arrivals is Martin’s Drift with 8.7 percent (199, 533). The border post is mainly used by travellers to Limpopo province in South Africa. The latter has dislodged Kazungula Ferry from the previous year, which is now in fourth place with 8.2 percent (187, 918) for arrivals and at fifth spot for departures with 7.8 percent (180, 916).
Figure 11 shows the top ten busiest Border Posts and is based on Appendices 13 and 20.

CHAPTER 4: TECHNICAL NOTES
This chapter presents data sources, methodology and definitions of terms used in production of tourism statistics. This is meant to enable the users to interpret the statistics carried in the report with understanding of how the raw data is sourced, how processing and compilation of the report is done and what the various terms used in the report mean.
4.1 Data Source and Methodology
The data used in the production of this report is sourced from administrative records of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Over 90 percent of the data is electronically captured and provided by this department to Statistics Botswana. The busiest points of entry/exit, which handle high volumes of travellers, have been automated. The data is captured into the Passport and Border Control System (PBCS). The remaining percentage of the data comes from the non-automated borders and is manually captured by Data Processing staff at Statistics Botswana. These two datasets are then merged for processing.
International Tourist data is collected using Arrival and Departure forms that are filled in by non-citizens at all gazetted points of entry and exit (Land Borders and Airports). Each form asks questions on personal characteristics of the traveller which include among others, sex, age, country of nationality, country of residence and purpose of entry. By default data is also collected on month of travel, mode of transport and point of entry.
Percentages are independently rounded, therefore in some cases they may not add to the total. The results and analysis presented in the report follow the guidelines, definitions and classifications recommended by United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC). This publication is produced in line with internationally accepted statistical standards and guidelines.
