Tourism numbers reach record heights in the Cayman Islands
Stayover visitation continued to rise for the Cayman Islands in October, with 23,798 people arriving to stay here, a 5.76% increase - or 1,297 - more visitors than October 2018.
For the period January through October 2019, our beautiful islands welcomed 410,088 stayover visitors, which represents 10% year-on-year growth, or an increase of 37,276 stayover visitors.
This is a new all-time record, an accomplishment that supports one of the objectives of government’s tourism mission to stimulate the economy of the Cayman Islands.
It is estimated that total visitor spend increased by 7.4% to US$747.4 million throughout this period.
“It is reaffirming to hear first-hand the positive impact our stayover strategy is having on stimulating tourism businesses’ profit margin during what we consider traditional shoulder season,” commented the Minister of Tourism, the Hon Moses Kirkconnell.
Presenting the statistical data each month is an integral role of the DOT, whose research mission is to support the overall strategic objectives of the destination by providing reliable data, useful information, and analysis for future planning, decision-making, and policy formulation. This includes continuous elevation of the research related products available to the public.
Currently, the DOT provides online statistical data in an easy-to-use format for persons requiring tourism related figures. The latest addition to the research reports offered is a 2019 nine-month snapshot infographic also available online at the Official Cayman Islands website.
