Maldives Tourism Industry Bounces Back – India a Key Source Market

The Maldives has become a haven for tourists looking for a safe holiday destination be it for a fun family getaway or a romantic retreat for couples; this was highlighted in a January 2021 online article published by Outlook Traveller. Added to this was that in 2020, the top market to the country was India which accounted for a market share of 11.3%. In the Maldives, island resorts continue to be a popular option for tourists; additionally, properties like Huvafen Fushi Maldives also follow stringent health and sanitisation protocols ensuring guests can enjoy peace of mind and a safe stay.

Outlook Traveller cited the country’s strict travel measures and the fact that it offered visas on arrival as being amongst the factors that made this destination so popular. Also of note was that many Bollywood stars from India were also seen holidaying in the Maldives which increased the country’s allure.
