AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Tourism Recovery: Maldives tourist arrivals rebounded after a three-month dip tied to Middle East conflict disruptions, with 122,548 visitors up 2.6% year-on-year for the latest period, as airlines gradually restored services and connectivity. Regional Security & Defence: The maiden multilateral exercise PRAGATI 2026 concluded in Meghalaya, with 400+ personnel from 13 nations including Maldives completing a 72-hour counter-terrorism validation focused on interoperability, trust-building, and drills such as IED detection and casualty evacuation. Green Development Push: Thailand’s Phinij Jarusombat urged stronger international cooperation for sustainable, green development at the Erhai Lake Forum in Dali, highlighting environmental stewardship as key to long-term progress. Trade & Industry Links: China’s upcoming China–South Asia Expo (June 11–16) is set to boost business ties, with South Asia trade surpassing $200bn in 2025 and the Maldives listed among major partners. Hospitality Tech Watch: RateGain’s APMEA Direct Booking Friction Report 2026 says hotels lose direct bookings mainly due to friction in their own digital experience, not demand or pricing.
