  • However, local businesses faced poor sales, attributed to a 10% rise in outbound trips by residents.
  • Official statistics show a total of 12.41 million trips across all border checkpoints, 15% higher than last year.
  • While some businesses benefited from increased tourism, others reported revenue drops up to 20% compared to the previous year.
  • With over 400,000 spectators at the New Year’s Eve fireworks, attendance fell short of last year's estimate.
