The Maldives will offer a free holiday to the 750,000th tourist to the country, who is expected to fly into the country tomorrow.
“The Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, the Maldives Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB) and the Tourism industry of the Maldives will celebrate a major milestone in inbound international arrivals by achieving 750,000 visitors in a single year,” said a statement from the MTPB.
“A special welcome ceremony is being coordinated to make it a colourful and memorable occasion.”
Tourist arrivals were up 21.8 percent in October, buoyed by a dramatic increase in arrivals from China – statistically now the Maldives’ greatest source of tourism arrivals.
