Fiji Statistics: Seasonally Adjusted Visitor Arrivals - June 2018
Seasonal adjustment is a statistical method used to remove the combined seasonal and calendar effects on time series data such as visitor arrivals. It derives seasonally adjusted and trend series data that reveal underlying changes and allows the measurement of short and long term patterns of growth and decline (refer to the explanatory notes for a detailed explanation).
- Trend estimates: Total Visitor Arrivals during June 2018 (70,083) declined by 1%, compared with May 2018 (70,777). This followed monthly declines of 0.9% in both April and May 2018 respectively. The current trend estimate for arrivals is 1.7% higher than in June 2017.
- Seasonally adjusted estimates: During June 2018, Total Visitor Arrivals to Fiji (70,411) decreased by 0.8% compared with May 2018 (70,987). This followed a monthly decrease of 5.3% in April 2018 and an increase of 1.9% in May 2018.
- Original estimates: The Total Visitor Arrivals to Fiji in June 2018 was 81,653.
