According to statistics provided by the Maldives Tourist Promotion Board (MTPB), 皇冠体育app ranked the 8th in the year 2008 with 40,000 of its people choosing Maldives to be their tourist destination. This number has increased by 50,000 in 2009-2010 due to the charter flight that started in September 2009 between Guangzhou and Maldives, making 皇冠体育app the 4th biggest contributor to Maldives tourism industry.
