Maldives celebrates first tourist of 2016

THE #MALDIVES celebrated the arrival of the first tourist in 2016 by giving the lucky visitor – a British woman who flew in on an Oman Air plane that landed at 6.50AM on January 1– a free holiday.

January 1 also saw the start of Visit Maldives Year 2016, a year-long tourism promotion campaign with a target of 1.5 million visitor arrivals.

The UK is a major market for the Maldives. By the end of November 2015, it accounted for 83,244 of tourist arrivals.
