At Lets Go Maldives, we are proud to celebrate yet another significant moment for the Maldives tourism industry. On Thursday, the country officially welcomed its two millionth tourist of the year, marking an impressive achievement for the destination and reinforcing its position as one of the world’s most desirable island escapes.
The milestone guest, Bethany Sarah Kerswell from the United Kingdom, arrived at Velana International Airport at 11:15am on Virgin Atlantic flight VS384 from London Heathrow, accompanied by her husband. The couple, visiting the Maldives for their honeymoon, will be spending their stay at OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort in South Ari Atoll-an ideal setting for a first-time Maldivian experience.
Their arrival was celebrated with a warm and culturally rich welcome organised by Visit Maldives Corporation (VMC), the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, Maldives Immigration, Maldives Customs Service, and Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL). Guests were greeted with a traditional Boduberu performance, along with commemorative gifts in honour of this national achievement-reflecting the Maldives’ tradition of marking tourism milestones with heartfelt hospitality.
This moment comes as the country continues its upward tourism momentum. The government has set a target of 2.3 million tourist arrivals for the year, a goal that now feels well within reach. According to the Ministry of Tourism, the Maldives currently welcomes over 6,000 visitors daily.
This milestone not only highlights global confidence in the Maldives as a premium holiday destination but also demonstrates the continued success of the tourism sector-supported by partners, travel businesses, and resort collaborators across the industry.
