Maldives has been one of the top choices for Chinese travellers with the number of Chinese increasing each year. Chinese outbound market has grown massively over the years and impacts the global economy as they are currently the highest spenders in the world as a result of their relaxed visa restrictions, rise in disposable income and the advancement of mobile internet. This boom in overseas travel is expected to continue to increase further in the future. From January to October, Maldives recorded 289,123 Chinese tourists to have visited Maldives as heavy competition continues to rise from other destinations to attract Chinese travellers. Despite the aggressive competition, Chinese market maintains the number one position in terms of arrivals to Maldives.
