In the period from January – October 2019 tourists realized
1.448.086 arrivals which represent an increase of 12,0% realizing a
total of 2.987.903 overnight stays,
representing an increase by 10,6% when compared to the same period of 2018.
The number of domestic tourist night stays increased by 8,1%
and number of foreign tourist nights increased by 11,5% compared to the same
period of 2018.
Domestic tourist’s share of total number of overnight stays
was 27,0% and foreign tourists share was 73,0%.
Largest increase of foreign tourist is recorded by tourists
from China with +82% or 42.652 tourists more when compared to the same time of
last year. By the end of the year number of Chinese tourist could reach
115.000, putting China on the second place by the number of tourists, right
after Croatia. Large increase of Chines tourists is due to the fact that Bosnia
and Herzegovina and China have abolished visas for tourist visit purposes for
its citizens. With such demand for travel from China to Bosnia and Herzegovina
it is very likely that direct flights from China to Sarajevo will be
established soon. Last year talks were held about possible establishment of
flights from China to Sarajevo via Belgrade.
