2022 Tourist Arrivals by Country of Residence:

This chart highlights that France and Reunion Island contribute significantly to the arrivals, with France accounting for nearly half of these, followed by Reunion Island at about 30.5%.  Other countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, and many others.

Air travel is the primary means of entry, which could be due to geographic, economic, or infrastructural factors.

Top contributors (excluding  those from Island of Mauritius and Rodrigues) are France and Reunion Island.

The inclusion of nearby islands (Mauritius, Rodrigues and Reunion) with high arrival numbers suggests strong regional connections.

Note that the data likely reflects both tourism and regular immigration or travel between these regions, which might be crucial for local businesses and service providers.
