Maldives tops google holiday searches

Published

on

Google has revealed their top search trends in the UK over the last 12 months and Maldives came top of the searches as No.1 in the travel category.

Celebrities including Beckham family, Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, Dita Von Teese and Cara Delvigne have all been spotted in the sunny sunny side of life recently and the allure of the white sands and crystal clear waters is equally irresistible.

To say 2016 has been an eventful one would be a sore understatement, from world events such as Brexit and the US Elections taking the stage, and Pokemon Go were also top of the searches.

Google’s “Year in Search” rankings were made through an analysis of the over one trillion search queries it received yearly.

According to Google’s rankings, searches showed key interest in sporting events such as Euro 2016, Wimbledon, and the Rio Olympics.

UK continues to be an important market in terms of tourist arrivals contributing a market share of 8%. During October 2016, a total of 9,111 tourists from UK visited Maldives. From January to October 2016 a total of 86,194 tourists have spent their holidays in the Maldives which is an 11.7% increase compared to the same of 2015.
