SBM estimates that 70% of Monaco visitors are from across the border
Société des Bains de Mer – estimates that around 70% of visitors to Monaco over Christmas and the New Year were Italians. The group also reported an impressive increase of 43% on money spent in the Principality’s gambling venues and a 26% increase in visitors to the casinos between Christmas and January 2nd. Elsewhere hotels claimed 100% occupancy for the night of New Year’s Eve. With the winter sales now in full swing throughout Monaco’s chic shops, the visitors look set to stay for a while longer – at least until Epiphany on January 7th.
