SUMMARY Welcome to the first edition for Nauru s International Arrivals Statistics 2016. Since this is a first edition there s a lot improvements which are highlighted as follows: One of the major improvements that are revealed in this analysis is the need for improvement of response on the arrival cards. Another is incorporating a missing component on the arrivals cards for analysis particularly for passengers to indicate their gender which is currently not available. Separate the question Main Reason for Visit for Residence and Non Residence which is currently contributing to a high non response for Returning residence.
