Just below 72,000 overnight stays in hotels were registered in the first nine months of this year, compared to more than 138,000 in the same period last year – a year-on-year dip of 48 percent.

Statistic Faroe Islands reports that Faroese residents make up 11 percent of this decline, Danish residents 22 percent, and other nationalities account for about 75 percent of the decline.
