UK Visitors Drive Tourism Growth in the Maldives – The Island Paradise Becomes Ever Popular with the United Kingdom

The Maldives is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and her appeal is growing evermore as indicated by recent statistics. The nation has indicated an 18.7% increase in tourists from the UK arriving at the Maldives from 2016 to 2017.

During November 2017, there were close to ten thousand travellers from the UK, and this was a clear increase from the eight-thousand that arrived in the same month the previous year. This positive trend is good news to many Maldives resorts scattered across the archipelago such as Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas.

Despite the nation’s success, the Maldives continues to expand, with the opening of a new airport as well as the development of the upcoming China-Maldives Friendship Bridge which is set to open in July. The nation plans to add at least ten resorts to her portfolio by the end of the year as well.
