Marriott Increases Maldives Investment to Attract Indian Source Market

Marriott International stated that Maldives arrivals have nearly recovered to pre-Middle East crisis levels, but the source market structure has changed, with India filling the gap. Marriott Vice President for the Maldives market Silvio Rosenberger said India has entered the Maldives' top ten source markets and continues to rise: in 2025, Indian arrivals were 112,229, ranking sixth, and as of August this year have reached 76,000. Marriott is simultaneously expanding its hotel footprint in the Maldives, including the Bulgari Resort opening next year.
