The decision to launch this new service was taken to meet the increasing demand for flights between the two countries, especially during the winter period.<\/p>\n<p>The new service is the fifth long-haul destination launched by Alitalia since last year \u2013 after Santiago de Chile, Mexico City, Beijing and Havana \u2013 and represents an important investment which aims to strengthen Alitalia\u2019s presence in key routes for tourism to and from the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Cramer Ball, Alitalia\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Maldives have been a popular tourist destination for years, especially in winter, and Italy is the fourth country in the world for number of tourist arrivals to the marvelous archipelago of the Indian Ocean. Alitalia continues to enhance its intercontinental offer from Italy, identifying destinations with the greatest potential. With this in mind, we therefore decided to launch a direct flight between Rome and Male as we\u2019re convinced that the new route will further contribute to increase Alitalia\u2019s long-haul traffic\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Maldives, over 71.200 Italian tourists traveled to the Maldives in 2016. This represents a 8.5 per cent growth compared to the previous year and this positive trend is continuing during the first two months of 2017. Italy ranks fourth among the originating countries for tourism to Maldives after China, Germany and United Kingdom, and ahead of much more populated countries such as India, Russia and the United States. The average stay for Italians in the Maldives archipelago is between four and eleven nights.<\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alitalia will from 31 October launch its first ever scheduled direct flights between Italy and the Maldives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137,7,7873,7872,7868],"tags":[7936,7880,7866],"class_list":["post-6002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sectoral","category-tourism","category-travel","category-vacation","category-world","tag-italy","tag-maldives","tag-tropical-islands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6002"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7903,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6002\/revisions\/7903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
