The Maldives welcomed 41,374 tourists in the first seven days of November, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation.
Daily arrivals fluctuated, peaking at 7,061 on 7 November. The lowest day was 4 November with 4,888 visitors. The figures represent a 7 per cent decline compared with the first week of November 2025, when 44,482 tourists arrived.
October had been stronger, with 194,039 visitors, a slight increase on the previous year. Officials have not yet released a full forecast for the remainder of the high season.
Major source markets continue to include India, Russia, China and several European countries. Airlines have maintained winter schedules despite the modest dip in early November numbers.
Industry groups have called for additional marketing efforts in emerging markets. The government has previously set an annual target of more than two million arrivals.
The daily update is published by the ministry and is based on immigration records at Velana International Airport and other ports of entry.
