The Maldives has experienced a significant surge in tourism in 2024, welcoming over 1.3 million visitors by mid-year. This marks a strong recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the government’s effective promotion strategies and successful vaccination campaign.

Known for its luxurious resorts, such as The Nautilus Maldives, one of the best resorts in the Maldives, the archipelago remains a top choice for affluent travelers. Beyond beach vacations, adventure tourism, wellness retreats, and eco-friendly initiatives have attracted a diverse range of visitors. Tourism, contributing over a quarter of the Maldivian GDP, is further boosted by international events and social media influencers amplifying its allure. With infrastructure developments like the expansion of Velana International Airport and new direct flights, the Maldives aims to surpass its tourism targets, solidifying its status as a premier tropical destination for global travelers.
