Note: Domestic data has transitioned to the new Domestic Tourism Statistics (DoTS) data. Learn more here.
Time series reports only cover international visitation. Domestic data will be available in the YE December 2026 report (March 2027 release) once two full years of data are available.
Note: NVS results in the archived reports and DoTS results in the latest reports are not comparable to each other due to the change in methodology.
