Tourist arrivals for this year are no longer expected to reach initial projections: Zareer
Minister of Finance Hassan Zareer told the People's Majlis while presenting the proposed budget that 2026 tourist arrivals are no longer expected to reach earlier projections, citing a major war's disruption to global trade and travel. Arrivals in March and April fell 23 percent versus the same period in 2023, and total arrivals as of October 27 were down 3.7 percent year-on-year, though state revenue is still projected to meet initial estimates.

the reports' own quoted words, each once
current projections do not foresee tourist arrivals reaching 2026 targets, it is estimated that by the end of this year, the Maldives will see arrival numbers close to the total recorded in 2025.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
