Get Ready to Welcome Gulf Air to the Skies of Maldives Once Again!

The winter holidays is always a peak season in the tourist industry of Maldives. However, until recently no one was sure whether it would be the same this year owing to the decrease in demand for travel and tourism due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Surprisingly, we can surely say that we are on the right track for the goal as of now. Since travel restrictions to Maldives has been lifted, a total number of 37,468 tourists have arrive up until 28^th October with 21,000 counting for October. As the increase in demand is obvious, international airlines have resumed operations to the country or had plans to in addition to increasing flight frequencies.
