Maldivian tourist resorts experience increment in the service charges during tourism peak season, which usually begin from November/December and lasts until February/March of the following year. During this period, tourist arrivals to the Maldives increase since it coincides with the winter season in many of the source market countries.
The higher the occupancy rate in a tourist property, the higher the service charge disbursed at the end of the fiscal month.
