Maldives Reaches Latest Tourism Arrivals Milestone – Visit Maldives Year 2016

Maldives welcomed its 750,000th tourist this year, setting a milestone in achieving its target for the Visit Maldives year. A special event was held to welcome the lucky guest arriving from China with traditional music and dance.

Each year thousands of tourists pay visits to the island nation, hoping to enjoy a luxury stay away from their busy routine at a Maldives resort by the clear blue seas. The white powdery sands are home to many hotels and resorts of reputable global brand names, such as theAnantara Dhigu Maldives Resort and many more.

As many Visit Maldives Year events are set to take place throughout the year both internationally as well as locally, achieving a target of 1.5million tourist arrivals for the year 2016 is one of the campaign’s biggest concerns.
