The national tourist in Galapagos:
For many years Galapagos was an expensive destination for
Ecuadorian tourists and few were able to visit. Consequently, many
Ecuadorian tourists opted to visit other destinations such as
Columbia or Peru. However, over the last ten years, more Ecuadorian
tourists traveled to Galapagos because of low-cost travel packages.
Between 1998 and 2009, the number of Ecuadorian visitors
increased from 14,440 (22% of all visitors) to 56,766 (35%).
According to the official data of the Galapagos National Park (GNP),
national tourism has increased by an average of 17% per year.
Although the data on national tourists can be misleading, since
many Ecuadorians travel to Galapagos for reasons other than
tourism, the increase in visits by Ecuadorians is indisputable.
