Maldives Tourism Set to Surpass Expectations Amid Global Challenges
The Maldives is on track to exceed its 2023 tourist arrival target of 1.8 million, with 1.5 million tourists by November 1. This represents a 13% increase over the same period in 2022. The tourism surge is driven by the peak season from December to April and the resumption of direct flights from China. Russia leads arrivals with 11% market share (175,714 tourists), followed by India and China. The tourism infrastructure has 62,822 beds across 1,282 facilities. The MMPRC participated in WTM London with 181 delegates. The proposed 2024 budget expects over 2 million arrivals next year, despite potential decreases from Europe.
