The number of tourists staying during the first quarter of 2020 amounted to 74395 according to the government of Sint Maarten. This is more than double that in 2018 at the same time.
However, the difference from the years before Irma is still large. For example, in 2017 almost 87000 additional tourists were welcomed during the first three of the year, in 2015 it was 78765 more.
Regarding cruise passengers, 435525 passengers disembarked according to government data during the first quarter in Philipsburg, which is 71750 more than two years ago. But as for tourist accommodation, we are still far from the levels before Irma: a third less than in 2017 or 2016.
185 liners docked in the Dutch section, 92 less than in 2017. However, the ratio of passengers per boat received is almost identical to the years 2015-2016: 2354 passengers / liner this year compared to 2450 in 2015 or 2425 in 2016. (soualigapost.com)
