PREFACE

The Tourism report is one of Statistics Botswana’s annual publications. The information contained in this publication is compiled from the completed immigration arrival/departure forms. The report gives arrivals and departure statistics during 2013, and follows the 2012 report released in February 2015. Due to technical challenges, the 2011 report is still outstanding and will be released at a later date to complete the series.

Travelers 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 at 3671300. All Statistics Botswana outputs/publications are available on the website at www.cso.gov.bw and at the Statistics Botswana Library (Head-Office, Gaborone).

We sincerely thank all stakeholders involved in the formulation of this report, their continued support and feedback, as we strive to better serve Batswana and all other important users of our services, particularly the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

6 TOURISM STATISTICS ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Statistics Botswana

1.0 Introduction

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 comprehensive statistics compiled in this report include arrivals by country of residence, nationality, purpose of entry, mode of travel used, point of entry and exit as well as age groupings and sex. 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 electronic data. These borders account for over 90 percent of all travelers inbound and outbound.

Forms from manual borders are captured by Statistics Botswana and merged with those from automated borders before analysis is done. Botswana citizens are exempted from completing the immigration entry/departure forms. As a result, figures on arrivals and departures contained in this publication cover only non-citizens, both visitors and temporary residents of Botswana. However, with the increasing demand for statistics on outbound travelers, particularly information on citizens, it will be necessary to find means of collecting and availing data on citizens as well in future.

The quality of statistics contained in this publication is highly dependent on the proper completion of the arrival/departure forms by all travelers.

2.0 Arrangement of Report

The report is categorized into two portions. The first portion discusses arrivals while the second provides information on departures.

3.0 Total Arrivals

Botswana received a total of 2,598,158 arrivals in 2013. This depicts a decline of 1.0 percent (14, 397) from the 2012 figure of 2,612,555 arrivals. Males accounted for 60.9 percent (1,583,408) as shown on Table 1. This shows an increase of 1.1 percentage points from the previous year’s (2012) male total arrivals.

Chart 1 shows the trend of the arrivals from 2000-2013.

This is followed by South Africans with 742,639 (28.6 percent) while Zambians represented 12.8 percent (331, 799) of total 2013 arrivals into the country. The United States of America and the United Kingdom also accounted for arrivals above one percent of 2013 total arrivals, at 5.4 percent (139, 752) and 1.9 percent (50, 589) respectively, as shown in Table 1.

The African continent accounted for 82.6 percent (2, 144,904) of total arrivals during the year. Arrivals from Europe accounted for 7.1 percent (184, 717) while those from America represented 6.8 percent (175,668) of 2013 total arrivals. Oceania was the continent with the least number of arrivals, accounting for 1.4 percent (35,656).

3.2 Arrivals by Purpose of Entry

Table 3 shows that most (33.1 percent) of the arrivals into the country were on ‘’transit’’. This is a significant number compared to the 2012 in-transit arrivals of 16.2 percent (423, 756) of total arrivals. Non-citizens resident in the country (“Returning residents”) were next at 19.4 percent (503, 497). This was followed by arrivals that came for ‘’Holiday’’, 18.3 percent (474, 455). Arrivals for purpose of “Visiting friends and relatives” contributed 7.1 percent (185,654) of total arrivals in 2013 while 13.7 percent (356,948) came to do “Business”. Employment numbers represent those who are seeking employment during their first entry into the country, they accounted for 0.4 percent (11, 050).

The distribution by Purpose of Entry is illustrated by Chat 2. “Other1” consists mainly of arrivals for purposes of shopping, religious and medical reasons. These three are not specifically labeled in the form but are understood to fall under category “other - specify”. “Other2” comprises those arriving for all other purposes not specified as in Table 3.

Note:Other1 = Arrivals for Shopping, Religious & Medical purposesOther2 = Arrivals for all other purposes not specified as in Table

3.3 Distribution of Arrivals by Age Group

The 25-29 and 40-44 groups contributed 12.3 percent (319, 122) and 11.4 percent (296, 997) respectively, to total arrivals during the year. These age-groups comprise mostly people who are in the mid-ages and are the most mobile. Chart 3, which is based on Table 5 and Table 5A, shows arrivals by age-group.

3.4 Arrivals by Border Post

Table 10 presents statistics on arrivals by Border Post. This table shows that the Ramokgwebana Border Post continues to have the highest number of arrivals followed by the Tlokweng Border Post, having recorded 539, 000 and 466, 736 arrivals respectively. These two border posts are the busiest land border posts, having contributed 20.7 percent and 18.0 percent respectively, of total arrivals (2,598,158) during the year under review. The Martin’s Drift border post was the third busiest during 2013, having recorded 10.2 percent (265,497) of total arrivals during the year.

The least busy points of entry are the small airports/airstrips usually accessed by small charter flights and private jets. The Sir Seretse Khama Airport received 5.4 percent (141, 216) of total arrivals, making it the busiest airport followed by the Maun Airport with 1.4 percent (36, 135). The number of arrivals at other points of entry during 2013 can be observed on Table 10. 3.5 Month of Arrival
