According to Syrian Minister of Tourism Rami Martini, Syria has seen an uptick in visitor numbers in the first three months of 2023, with 385,000 arrivals so far. Of these, 345,000 are from Arab countries, while 40,000 are foreigners.

In 2025, Syria's tourism sector reported a significant rebound, with total visitor numbers reaching approximately 3.56 million according to data from the Syrian Ministry of Tourism. This figure includes a mix of foreign tourists, Arab nationals, and Syrian expatriates living abroad. Of these, non-Arab foreign visitors accounted for about 376,000 arrivals, representing a nearly 80% increase compared to 2024. The majority of these international tourists arrived from countries such as Turkey, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Norway. Regional tourism from neighboring countries like Jordan, Iraq, and the Gulf states also saw a sharp rise, driven by religious tourism and cultural heritage interest. By the end of 2025, total arrivals were projected to hit the 4 million mark as security conditions stabilized in key areas like Damascus and Aleppo. While Western travel advisories still urge caution, the 2026 data continues to show an upward trend as the country focuses on rebuilding its tourism infrastructure and promoting its ancient UNESCO World Heritage sites to a global audience.
