Tourist arrivals for the first six months of 2018 increased by 10.5 percent compared to the same period last year, the tourism ministry said Wednesday.
A total of 726,515 tourists had visited the Maldives up to June 2018. In 2017 the figure was 657,542.
The increase is despite a state of emergency and travel warnings triggered by an ongoing political crisis.
A total of 93,786 tourists visited in June 2018, up from 85,222 in 2017.
