How to read this series

Tourist arrivals. Visitors arriving each month, in total and by the region they come from. Arrivals are strongly seasonal, with the northern winter the high season, so the 12-month total is the cleanest measure of the underlying level.

  • A flow: it measures activity during each month, and months add up to an annual total.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
