Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Maldives kicks off 2025 with 9.4% surge in tourist arrivals
The Maldives welcomed 132,235 tourists in the opening period of 2025, a 9.4% rise over the 120,919 arrivals in the same period of 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism's Daily Update Report. The government has set a 2.2 million visitor target for 2025, which the MMPRC plans to support through several new initiatives.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
