Bahrain - International tourism

International tourism, number of arrivals.

The value for International tourism, number of arrivals in Bahrain was 1,909,000 as of 2020. As the graph below shows, over the past 25 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 12,045,000 in 2018 and a minimum value of 1,909,000 in 2020.

Definition: International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Bahrain introduces new tourist tax on hotel accommodations

Gulf bahrain.

Tourist tax of three Bahraini dinars per day to generate significant revenue stream

Dubai: The Ministry of Tourism in Bahrain has announced a new tourist tax on hotel accommodations throughout the kingdom.

Effective May 1, 2024, a tax of three Bahraini dinars (approximately Dh30) will be charged per room per day.

The decision was communicated to tourist travel agencies and airlines both within Bahrain and internationally, with instructions to incorporate the tax into the room rates charged to tourists visiting the country.

The measure aims to standardise additional costs associated with hotel stays and ensure transparency for visitors planning their travels to Bahrain.

The Ministry of Tourism anticipates that the new tax will generate a significant revenue stream, projecting an increase in the state budget by up to three million dinars annually, assuming hotel room occupancy rates reach 40 per cent per year.
