In keeping with the growing number of tourist arrivals in 2019, the Maldives is setting its sights on reaching two million arrivals in 2020. This is according to a recent article published online by Indian travel trade magazine, Travel Trends Today, which was quoting FathimathRaheel, the Director at Maldives Marketing & PR Corporation. A key contributor to the increased growth in 2019, was the influx of Indian tourists which made up close to 10% of the visitor share.

In 2019, the country achieved its target of 1.5 million tourist arrivals in November itself, with the year-end total exceeding 1.7 million. In the Maldives,all inclusive resorts including the likes of VARU by Atmosphere as well as budget guesthouses continue to draw travellers from around the world; it is hoped that with more focus on digital and social media promotions, these numbers will increase to help achieve the two million arrivals target.
