Figure 6.1: Percentage of Total Arrivals in Botswana by Purpose of 16.5% Other 29.2% Visitor 3.0% Prospective Resident Entry for 2002 0.3% Not Known 7.6% Business 0.1% Student 15.5% Returning Resident 0.8% Seeking Employment 2.5% In Employment 13.9% In Transit 0.2% Diplomat Source: Adapted From Republic of Botswana Statistical Bulletin, 2004. As can be seen from Table 6.1, total arrivals in Botswana increased by 9.7 percent from 2001 to 2002. Most of these arrivals were recorded during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. The most common reason for arrivals was either visiting friends or family, in transit to other countries or spending a holiday in Botswana (Figure 6.1). As can be seen from Table 6.1 and Figure 6.2, there was a reduction in the number of total arrivals for 2001 and 2002, compared to the Year 2000 figure of 2,1 million. This in proportional terms implies a decline of 19,3 percent for 2001 and 10,6 percent for 2002. The general pattern of arrivals for the past years shows that the arrivals have been increasing since 1994 (Figure 6.2). There is no clear explanation why the number of arrivals ultimately declined in the year 2001. Figure 6.2 shows the trends for these arrivals since 1991. It can be observed that the number of arrivals increased in 1991 from 1,1 million to 1,2 million in 1993, then reached a lower figure of less than a million in 1994, before making an upward trend until the Year 2000 (Republic of Botswana Tourism Statistics, 2001; Republic of Botswana Statistical Bulletin, 2004). 225
