Afghanistan's tourism receipts have fluctuated significantly over the 13-year period, with the latest value standing at 75,000,000.00 in 2020. The country's all-time peak was reached in 2013, with 179,000,000.00 in receipts, whereas the trough occurred in 2017, with a significantly lower 16,000,000.00. In comparison to its peers, Afghanistan's tourism receipts exceed those of Vanuatu, which had 67,000,000.00 in receipts. However, the country still lags behind other peers, such as Bhutan and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The volatility in Afghanistan's tourism sector is likely attributed to the country's unstable security situation, particularly during the trough year of 2017. Looking ahead, a sustained improvement in the country's security environment would be necessary to alter the trajectory of its tourism receipts and unlock the sector's potential for growth.
