In 2014, airport management declared that half of the said departing passengers were from the United States. Or 414170 103 Americans embarking on the year. Or 542 per quarter. For comparison, the number of tourists staying from North America was 107526 in the first quarter of 2014.
This year a total of 74 tourists of all nationalities were received during the first three months of the year.
• The economic weight of passengers from the United States
On the basis of a Departure tax of $ 39, the only 414170 passengers in the United States generated $ 16,15 million in revenue, more than staff costs.
Hence the interest in allowing tourists from the USA who are very loyal to the island, to return as soon as possible. (soualigapost.com)
