Voting for the WTA Indian Ocean’s category will be open until March 31, 2024. MMPRC has urged travel enthusiasts and industry professionals to cast their votes in support of the island nation’s tourism industry.
Maldives has been the recipient of the Indian Ocean’s Leading Destination title for four consecutive years, starting from 2020, and a win in this title would stretch the record to five back-to-back years.
The Maldives tourism industry has observed robust growth over the years since the global pandemic in 2020, with tourist arrivals reaching near pre-pandemic levels last year.
The Ministry of Tourism earlier announced it aims to attract 2 million annual travelers in 2024; which, if achieved, would set a new all-time high annual arrival record for the country.
