The MVS research has been conducted biannually since 2013. However, the surveys planned for off-peak season 2020 had to be postponed due to border closure from April - June 2020 resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, followed by low arrivals during the rest of the year. Hence, the survey was replanned and executed in December 2021. MVS presents the profile of international visitors to the Maldives and their opinions about the holiday experience in the Maldives. The December survey captures the views of the international visitors to the Maldives during the peak tourist season in 2021. The survey was carried out at the International Departure Terminal of Velana International Airport in Hulhulé as an exit survey. The survey was conducted between 15 December 2021 and 28 December 2021. This is the first visitor survey undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic after the February 2020 survey undertaken at the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak globally. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) had declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) and on 3 February 2020, Maldives had suspended flights between China and Maldives. China hasn’t opened their borders for visitors to travel to the Maldives. Thus, Chinese visitors are not part of the survey respondents during this survey. To understand the impacts to travel during the Covid-19 pandemic, a new section was added to the questionnaire in this survey and the findings are presented under the topic: “Travel During the Covid-19 Pandemic”. The survey findings comprise of 1,676 responses from various nationalities and in-depth nationality analysis consists of 8 markets comprising 73% of the responses.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that we are likely to exceed a 1.5°C average temperature increase, the point at which severe climate disruptions would occur, with significant impacts for humans and nature. In the Maldives, the challenge has never been so apparent. The country is among the most vulnerable on Earth to sea level rise, with more than 80 percent of its islands less than a meter above sea level. With midrange sea level rise predicted to be between .5-1.2 meters, the Maldives is projected to lose some 77 percent of its land area by the year 2100.1,2 More than 90% of all resort infrastructure and 99% of all tourist accommodation are currently within 100m of coastline.3 Attracting a record 1.7 million tourists in 2019, the tourism industry must take action to ensure communities in these destinations can adapt to a changing world. Despite having contributed little to the problem, the Maldives hosts a wealth of potential solutions. In recent years, the Government of the Maldives has made strides towards becoming a beacon of climate leadership for the rest of the world. The tourism industry in the Maldives has the opportunity to do the same—positioning itself as a visionary industry that is not only responsibly reducing its emissions, but actively helping communities to adapt to the inevitable consequences of climate change. Many initiatives across the country have already taken root—innovative waste management practices, seagrass restoration efforts, community-led mangrove conservation, and coral reef rehabilitation have all originated in and been catalyzed by the tourism sector. Accounting for roughly 28% of GDP and 60% of foreign exchange,4 the tourism sector in the Maldives has an opportunity to model what approaches to innovative climate adaptation look like for the rest of the world. The Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan is designed to guide the tourism sector, with the Ministry of Tourism at the helm, through the sea of change climate change will bring over the next generation. This is a piece of visionary thought leadership from the industry, informing an Action Plan that is rooted in practice, underpinned by real people and experiences, and led by the vision of those already seeking change. This document sets forth a vision for a tourism industry in the Maldives that leads the world in climate change innovation by centering communities and regenerating nature. This vision was informed by research conducted over a year and key conversations with a wide range of stakeholders. Designed to align Goal 4 of the Maldives Fifth Tourism Master Plan— Build Climate Resilience and Protect Natural Assets—the Action Plan outlines five strategic objectives for achieving this vision, including integrating community experiences and priorities, protecting destination assets, regenerating nature, diversifying business models, and aligning with global initiatives. Core actions are presented under each objective, linking to the 10 Business Climate Action Investments presented in Section 3—a “menu” of innovative adaptation solutions businesses can invest in today to increase their resilience for tomorrow—and guidance on financing and practical steps businesses can take to adopt these critical adaptation measures. Finally, the Action Plan lays out potential financing opportunities for both public and private sector stakeholders in the Maldives, looking at innovative financing opportunities such as Nature-based Solutions and carbon offsetting. These are financing opportunities that will only continue to grow as global demand for these solutions increases. Businesses are well-positioned to take advantage of this nature-positive global shift. Utilizing the strategies and solutions laid out in this Action Plan, businesses can begin their path towards a resilient and equitable future for their visitors, employees, communities, and destinations as a whole.
