The daily arrival has increased amid Maldives tourism peak which coincides with winter season in many of the western and European countries.

Previously, the highest daily tourist arrivals were recorded in February with an average of 5,200.

The average of daily arrivals in annual terms stand between 3,300 to 4,500 this year.

Maldives achieved its target of 1.6 millionth arrival for the year earlier on December 20, Tuesday. Indian national Tejas Sanjay Kothari became this year’s target-achiever tourist, who was welcomed at Velana International Airport upon arrival.

India has maintained its position as the top tourist source market with over 220,000 annual arrivals while Russia followed closely behind in second spot with over 190,000 annual arrivals.

At the reception of the 1.6 millionth tourist, the state declared a target of 1.8 million annual arrivals for 2023.
