Maldives has welcomed the 100,000th tourist since the country reopened its borders on 15th July 2020. The country closed its borders on 27th March 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Initially, the island nation targetted to reach 2 million tourist arrivals by the end of 2020. But, the forecasts were changed due to the pandemic. Newly-revised figures from the Ministry of Tourism indicates the country aims to reach 525,000 tourists by 19th December 2020. Likewise, Maldives targets 1.5 million tourist arrivals in 2021.

Surpassing the milestone of 100,000 tourists in advance of the projections is really encouraging. This achievement is the outcome of a unified#MaldivesApproach to a global challenge.
