Tourist arrivals increased 9 percent in June compared to the same period last year, reaching 83,347 guests, says the Maldives Monetary Authority’s (MMA) monthly economic review.
“However, this is a decline of 9 percent when compared to the previous month,” read the economic review for June.
“The annual increase in arrivals was contributed by the increase in the number of arrivals from both Asia and Europe. In June 2014, total bednights rose by 9 percent in annual terms while the average duration of stay remained unchanged at 5.6 days compared to June 2013.”
The occupancy rate meanwhile increased to 59 percent from 55 percent in June 2013.
