Tourist arrivals in February increased by five percent from the previous month and six percent in annual terms, according to the Maldives Monetary Authority’s (MMA) latest monthly economic review.
“The annual increase was due to the rise in the number of arrivals from Asia and Europe,” the central bank’s monthly report noted.
While total bed nights in February rose five percent compared to the same period last year, the occupancy rate rose three percent from February 2013 to 89 percent this year.
The average duration of stay however “declined marginally in annual terms during the review period,” the report stated.
