This 2017 edition, offers historic and current data on indicators, which identify key facts and figures. The graphs serve as a quick method to determine trends in a visually appealing way. The figures are mainly annual totals for calendar months, and the series have been provided for a five-year period 2012 – 2016, with figures for earlier years may be found in previous editions.

This is the third quarter report for 2017. This demonstrates tourist arrivals who visit our shores by way of the Vance W Amory International Airport and Sea port on the island of Nevis.

The purpose of this publication is to bring together in one volume some of the major important statistical series on Nevis Economic and Social trends. While it would be an exaggeration to suggest this publication is all inclusive, every effort has been made to include detailed descriptions of most of all the data presented.

Welcome to the 2015 Statistical Digest complied by the Department of Statistics and Economic Planning in the Ministry of Finance, Nevis Island Administration.

The results of the continual improvement in the efficiency and quality of services provided by the tourism sector, continues to impact positively by the influx of inbound tourists during the period January to September, 2016.
