According to the Quisqueya Foundation, tourism took a 5.8% dip in November 2008 after only 268,469 visitors visited the DR compared to 284,969 in November of 2007. The Foundation says that the decrease of 16,500 visitors is partly due to an 11.7% decrease in arrivals among Dominicans living abroad and a 4.83% decrease in arrivals among non-resident Dominicans. Dominican arrivals decreased by 4,672, going from 39,956 in 2007 to 35,284 in 2008, while non-resident arrivals went from 245,013 in 2007 to 233,185 in 2008. North American arrivals also decreased, by 3.3%, going from 68,343 in 2007 to 66,174 in 2008. According to the Foundation, North American and non-resident Dominican arrivals equaled 37.8% of total arrivals.
