History of Tourism in Maldives

Tourism in the Maldives officially began in 1972 with the opening of the first resort on Kurumba Island. It was during this time that the Maldives government recognized the potential of tourism as a major revenue generator and started to promote the Maldives as a luxury tropical getaway. This move transformed the nation's economy and changed its developmental trajectory.

The Maldives, consisting of 26 atolls and over 1,000 coral islands, has become synonymous with high-end travel, honeymoon destinations, and exclusive seclusion. From humble beginnings with just a few resorts, the Maldives has expanded its offerings to over 150 resorts spread across its many atolls, each providing a unique and tranquil experience to tourists from all around the world.
