Tourism receipts in the Union of the Comoros have shown marked volatility over the 25‑year span from 1995 to 2020, falling from a 1995 level of 22,000,000.00 to a historic low of 9,000,000.00 in 2001 before surging to an all‑time peak of 73,699,996.95 in 2018, the year in which the country ranked 124th globally. By 2020, receipts had contracted sharply to 18,500,000.00, a figure that is comparable to the 19,000,000.00 recorded by peer Suriname and Angola, yet considerably above Eswatini’s 7,300,000.19 and the Solomon Islands’ 7,000,000.00. The post‑peak decline reflects the combined impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic, limited air connectivity, and constrained investment in tourism infrastructure, which together eroded the gains achieved after 2018. Continued diversification of the visitor base, improvements in transport links, and targeted marketing of the archipelago’s natural assets could help reverse the recent downturn and sustain a more stable upward trajectory.
