Earnings from international tourism amounted to $11.8 billion in 2010, an increase of 5 percent over the previous year (which was the worst in history). Of this amount, 83 percent came from travelers who spent at least one night in the country. Cruise ship passengers and border-crossers in brief visits accounted for the rest. This year, earnings are expected to hit $12.4 billion.
