Tourism
There are about four different percentages listed for tourism as a part of GDP. Someone needs to clean this entire page up. 67.100.31.76 (talk) 23:57, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

"Tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy, accounting for approximately 16.6% (2000) of GDP. Employment, foreign earnings, construction, banking, and commerce are all dominated by tourism-related industries. Tourism earned $631 million in 1999-2000."

- $631M equal to 16% of GDP seems too high. Entire GDP is listed as ~$900M at the end of the article. Also, that would produce average spend of ~5K per visitor (~130K visitors cited in the article) - seems extremely high. $63.1M sounds more plausible (about $500 per visitor), although GDP percentages still don't add up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.190.180 (talk) 22:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. The Statistical Office provides National Accounts with an extra sheet concerning value added by tourism related industries at current market prices. Fort 2016, the numbers are (in SR millions): Total tourism-related GDP: 4.809,9; Total GDP: 19.014,1; that leads to a 25,3% share of tourism.

Defaulted on some debt
It may be of interest that the current Standard & Poor's credit rating for the country is SD (selective default), meaning that it defaulted on some of its debt or interest payments. Icek (talk) 16:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
