The Maldives is widely known as a tourist hotspot today, mainly because of the brilliant tropical island atmosphere here. The white sands surrounded by the sapphire blue ocean is simply stunning and alluring enough to have brought 1.5 million travellers this year to the Maldives! That’s an increase of a whole million more than the previous year. Kandolhu Maldives and many a Maldives luxury resort in the archipelago are said to have high occupancy rates this year.

The 1.5 millionth traveller was surprised with a grand welcome from the Ministry of Tourism, Maldives Airports Company Limited, Marketing and Public Relations Corporation and Maldives Immigration and other representatives of the local tourism industry. Mrs Marina Kazakova and her husband, who arrived on the island via Aeroflot Airlines from Russia were on their 7th visit to the Maldives this year. They were rewarded with a free 6-night stay and many other gifts which highlighted the local traditions.
