Tourists forecast to spend P7.5bn in Botswana this year

The annual economic impact reports of the WTTC are the only available data studies on spending in the local travel and tourism industry. The other source, the Tourism Satellite Account conducted by government and the World Tourism Organisation, has only been conducted thrice, with the last report covering 2016.

According to the WTTC estimates, Botswana could welcome up to 1.87 million international tourists this year, who will collectively spend P7.52 billion on various goods and services for both business and leisure trips. The majority of the spending, the WTTC expects, will be by those tourists coming to Botswana on  leisure trips.
