Overview
Eritrea's tourism receipts stood at $48.0M in 2016, a rise of +$22.0M from 2009. Eritrea ranked 158th globally.
Eritrea’s tourism receipts have declined from an all‑time peak of 90,000,000.00 in 1997 to a low of 26,000,000.00 in 2009, before rising modestly to 48,000,000.00 in 2016, placing the country 158th in global rankings. The 16‑year series shows a long‑term contraction, with the 2016 figure still below the early‑1990s level of 58,000,000.00 recorded in 1995. Compared with neighboring peers, Eritrea’s receipts are slightly lower than Comoros’ 50,500,000.00 and Tonga’s 52,700,000.00, but higher than the Republic of Congo’s 42,900,001.53 and Sierra Leone’s 41,000,000.00. The persistent downward pressure reflects limited infrastructure, restrictive visa policies and regional instability that have constrained visitor inflows since the 2009 trough. Continued investment in transport links, liberalised entry requirements and targeted marketing could reverse the decline and move Eritrea’s tourism receipts upward in the coming years.
