After a wonderful World Cup in Qatar, and after the festive season just ended, Maldives just welcomed back this month important Chinese tourists after nearly 3 years of absence due to Covid-19 pandemic. This is the first time a Chinese airline arrived as direct flight from China to the Maldives since March 2020. Chinese Tourists will play an important role and will boost the tourism in Maldives in 2023.
