#### 1.1 Rank the Tourist arrivals for 2023 in ascending order. (6)



Answer :

To rank the tourist arrivals for 2023 in ascending order, we need to organize the countries based on the number of tourist arrivals from smallest to largest. Here are the tourist arrival numbers for 2023 listed by country:

- Zimbabwe: 228634
- Lesotho: 155187
- Mozambique: 153476
- Eswatini: 48766
- Botswana: 24273
- Malawi: 11671

Now, let's arrange these numbers in ascending order:

1. Malawi: 11671
2. Botswana: 24273
3. Eswatini: 48766
4. Mozambique: 153476
5. Lesotho: 155187
6. Zimbabwe: 228634

So, the ranking of tourist arrivals for 2023 in ascending order is as follows:

1. Malawi (11671)
2. Botswana (24273)
3. Eswatini (48766)
4. Mozambique (153476)
5. Lesotho (155187)
6. Zimbabwe (228634)

These rankings can be visually represented in a table for clarity:

| Rank | Country | Tourist Arrivals (2023) |
|------|-----------|-------------------------|
| 1 | Malawi | 11671 |
| 2 | Botswana | 24273 |
| 3 | Eswatini | 48766 |
| 4 | Mozambique| 153476 |
| 5 | Lesotho | 155187 |
| 6 | Zimbabwe | 228634 |

Each country is positioned based on the number of tourist arrivals, starting with the fewest and ending with the most.
