The number of tourists visiting the Maldives has significantly decreased, and similarly, tourist arrivals in neighboring Sri Lanka have also seen a sharp decline. As of June 14th, 1,305 people from the Maldives visited Sri Lanka, while Sri Lanka received 54,465 tourists. Currently, the Maldives receives between 3,000 to 4,000 tourists daily. Industry sources suggest the main reasons for the low tourist numbers in the Maldives this year are the current Middle Eastern situation and the World Cup football tournament coinciding.
