The Maldives, a renowned luxury destination, is implementing a substantial increase in departure taxes (up to 400%) and green taxes starting December 2024 and January 2025, respectively. This move, aimed at stabilizing the Maldivian economy, will significantly impact travel costs, particularly for first-class and private jet travelers. The changes will also affect the green tax levied on tourists, adding to the overall cost of a Maldivian vacation.
