From the first chapter of the report "Towards a modern and decentralized tourism" by the Association for Research and Social Studies:
Often, the success of tourism in a country is measured by the number of international visitor arrivals. From that point of view, it is worth mentioning the milestone of 2004, when for the first time the figure of one million international visitors was passed. Then in 2013, another important goal was achieved, as more than two million visitors were recorded. Therefore in almost ten years, Guatemala has doubled the number of visitors it receives.
It should be noted that the registered number of visits by land are those that have driven growth over the last decade. In fact, in 2014, seven out of ten visits to the country were recorded at land borders. Meanwhile visits by air have had a more moderate growth and those registered by sea have been volatile, as denoted in Figure 1.
