The month of June saw an average arrival count of 3.7 thousand tourists for a day, while the total number of arrivals for the year so far represents a 9.6% increase from arrival numbers recorded during the same period last year.
A majority of the market share belongs to China, accounting for 11.5% of the total arrivals, while Russia, the UK, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the United States continue to contribute to tourist numbers as well. Accordingly, the Maldives continues to draw in regular tourists on their road to achieving a target of 2 million arrivals for 2024.
