Tourism
Tourist arrivals from abroad, and what tourism earns as a share of exports.
International tourist arrivals are the people who came from abroad for at least one night, for leisure, business or family, counted at the border or in hotels. Tourism receipts are what those visitors spent, as a share of the country's exports: tourism is an export, paid for in foreign money, and for islands like the Maldives it is most of them. UN Tourism, the United Nations' tourism agency, compiles both, and the World Bank republishes them; the series stops in 2020, the year tourism collapsed.
