TAK RELEASES 3rd Quarter Kiribati Tourism Review Report

TAK has released its 2020 3rd quarter Tourism Review Report.

The report highlights Kiribati’s domestic travel market with statistics on maritime and air passengers travelling within country. Data collected indicated an 87% increase in domestic air travel compared to maritime transport. Maritime travel on the other hand dropped by 27% compared to the previous quarter.

Furthermore, the report also captures the number of local seafarers that have been quarantined at our local quarantine centres on Tarawa. Data gathered show an increase of 17% compared to 2nd quarter figures.

The final part of the report provides a snapshot of our tourism industry employment statistics including a 1% drop in the number of people directly employed by accommodation providers this quarter compared to the previous quarter.

TAK is grateful to Air Kiribati Limited, Ministry of Health & Medical Services, Ministry of Information, Communications, Transport & Tourism Development and the local accommodation providers for agreeing to share their data with us.
