  • surpasses the previous annual record of 70,000 in the September 2016 year.
  • driven by the increase in migrant arrivals

Also:

  • A new October record
  • The latest month's figure was up 14 percent from October 2015
  • In the October 2016 year visitor arrivals hit a record 3.42 million, up 12 percent from October 2015
