The figure increases modestly by 15,7% compared to 2020 and remains 53% lower than in previous years (534,000 arrivals in 2018 and 2019). More than 88% of tourists counted last year came from France and 24% came from Reunion. 6,9% came from neighboring islands, mainly from Mayotte, since the borders with Madagascar and Mauritius only began to open in the latter part of the year. European markets only represented 3,6% of arrivals, from Belgium, mainly from Switzerland and Germany. Affinity customers, whose main reason for travel is to visit relatives or friends, remains very high : 43,8% you total, pour 46,5% leisure tourists and 8,6% business travelers. 49,3% of all foreign tourists stayed with relatives or friends, also shows the IRT survey.
