TOURISM DEMAND

1,000,000+

TOURISM MINISTRY

Demand, capacity and source-market context.

The Ministry's statistics dashboard provides visitor arrivals, occupancy, beds, average stay, source markets and bed-night information. ITFC can use these indicators alongside a project's own feasibility assumptions rather than treating national growth as proof that every tourism project is viable.

TRADE & INVESTMENT

Policy direction and sectors open for investment.

Invest Maldives and the Ministry of Economic Development, Transport & Trade publish information on investment facilitation, strategic sectors and government initiatives. These help identify areas to investigate, while commercial due diligence must still test demand, cost, regulation and financing.

PUBLIC FINANCE

Understand the fiscal and infrastructure setting.
