It is with great pleasure that I present to you this annual publication of Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. Undoubtedly tourism is a very dynamic sector and timely dissemination of statistics is vital due to the signifi cance of the industry. With this in mind, the Tourism Yearbook is published with the objective of providing comprehensive and latest statistical information on tourism industry, to the relevant Government authorities as well as private sector, institutions and individuals. This annual publication highlights key tourism indicators of the Maldives for the past fi ve years and provides information on the performance of the Maldives tourism industry in 2008. Year 2008 had been an eventful year for the Maldives, in terms of politics within the country as well as economic changes in the Maldives and around the world. While the Maldives welcomed a new administration of government, international tourism was being challenged by a deteriorating global economy. Growth in international tourist arrivals worldwide slowed down drastically during the last half of the year. Tourist arrivals to the Maldives increased by just about 1% showing that the Maldives tourism is highly dependent on the world economic situation. As the current troubled world economic scenario is expected to continue well into 2009 and beyond, international tourism is expected to stagnate. We have witnessed in the past that tourism, regardless of its vulnerability towards devastating crisis, man- made or natural, has shown overwhelming resilience and the ability to bounce back. Such resilience can be attributed to the determined efforts of the Government and the private sector. I am confi dent that with continued cooperation by the private sector and the Government, the Maldives tourism can recover and reach targeted growth levels from the current crisis. Tourism Yearbook 2009 is the result of combined efforts of many Government authorities, private sector organizations and the tourism industry of the Maldives. I acknowledge, with deep gratitude, the valuable contribution and support rendered by respective Government and private sector organizations. I do hope that the readers fi nd this publication a useful source of information. Male’, May 2009 i Except where otherwise indicated, data used in this publication have been collected from relevant government agencies and the Maldives tourism industry. The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture wishes to express its gratitude to the Department of National Planning, Ministry of Finance and Treasury, Department of Immigration and Emigration, Department of Inland Revenue, Maldives Monetary Authority, Maldives Customs Services, Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Studies, Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and the Maldives tourism industry for their continued cooperation and assistance in the compilation of this annual publication. iiii Tourism Yearbook 2009, has been produced and published by the Statistics Section of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. This publication briefl y presents the overall performance of the tourism industry of the Maldives through 2004 to 2008.
