Maldives visitor survey : local experiences : December 2021

Abstract

This report presents the survey findings from the Maldives Visitor Survey (MVS), an in-depth survey conducted in December 2021 by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of the Maldives. The 2021 in-depth survey captured the local experiences of visitors to the Maldives. The survey was carried out at the International Departure Terminal of Velana International Airport in Hulhulé. It was conducted between 15th December 2021 and 28th December 2021. The total survey findings comprise 578 responses from various nationalities. In-depth nationality analysis consists of seven markets with adequate data for analysis: India, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, and America. These countries were also among the top ten markets to the Maldives during the survey period. Chinese visitors had not resumed their international holiday travels to the Maldives due to border closures following the global COVID-19 pandemic and, therefore, were not part of the respondents during this survey.
