On 19th December 2020, Maldives recorded the highest number of tourist arrivals on a single-day with 4,567 entries. "Another record day of daily tourist arrivals to Maldives since border reopening. Today we surpass the beautiful number of 4,567 tourists on a single day. Thank you ALL for your contributions towards Maldives tourism recovery. #TogetherWeCan," Honorable Minister of Tourism Dr. Abdulla Mausoom stated in a tweet. 

The tourism industry along with partners is working together to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that came along with it. In this regard, Maldives has recently welcomed the 100,000th tourist since border reopening, as well as the 500,000th tourist for the year. 

Looking to the future, the tourism industry seems to be improving gradually. It is estimated that with such developments in place, Maldives will reach its peak tourist arrival rates in 2021 and greet 1.5 million tourists within the year.
