The 2026 figure therefore reflects more of a stabilization following the sharp increase recorded the previous year. The 1.6% decline provides a useful point of comparison, while trends in the major markets offer a more accurate picture of visitor numbers. Three markets bring 11,445 visitors to Bonaire The
