Tourism in the Maldives is carefully managed. The lack of local resources
makes it necessary to import virtually everything a visitor needs, so it
can't really compete on price. The strategy has been to develop a limited
number of quality resorts, each on its own uninhabited island, free from
traffic, crime and crass commercialism.
The tourism strategy also aims to minimize the adverse effects of tourism on traditional Muslim communities. Tourists can make short guided visits to local fishing villages, but must then return to their resort. To stay longer or to travel to atolls outside the tourist zone requires a good reason, a special permit, and a local person to sponsor the visitor. |
