“We are looking to fly to Japan,
and in the long term to Australia,”
said Weinmann.
China is
the Maldives’
largest source market—contributing 198,000 visitors in 2011, a 67-per cent jump
over the year before.
Weinmann said: “We think we are part of this growth in
Chinese inbound traffic. The challenge is to make this a repeat market. We are
already starting to see repeat customers. It’s a small percentage of the total,
but it’s important to cultivate this segment.”
