Maldives rated as the no. 1 Holiday Destination

The Maldives has taken the 2005’s number one spot among top long haul holiday destinations in the world, according to Kuoni’s Long Haul Report 2006. Maldives has taken the top position from Thailand which took 3rd position where Egypt took 2nd and Dubai 4th. Maldives is also Kuoni’s number one Honeymoon Destination for 2004 and 2005.

The report also highlights the importance of the destination to be careful of pricing itself out of the market by focusing purely on five star deluxe properties, as there is high demand for good three and four star resorts, and how vital it is to maintain extra capacity in the critical middle segment of the market in order to keep volumes up.

  • Before you come to the Maldives, you ought to know that locals use the beaches as kind of communal toilet. Yes. locals poop on beaches as Maldivians are really uncivilized and don't have toilets at home. So think twice before you decide that the white beaches you see on brochures are really white. There have been incidents where tourists sunbathed and later found out that the tan on their back was actually a souvenir from a maldivian intestine.
