This is not a denial that the acquisition fees do not bring in much needed revenue to the government during a time of hardship. However, the islands currently up for bid have been identified with a definitive development goal in mind rather than as a way to fund the government.
Secondly, acquisition costs are comparatively negligible to the government when islands are leased for tourism development as compared to revenues derived from taxes applicable on the operation of resorts and from wider economic activity generated due to supporting activity.
@MoTmv is happy to announce that over 57% of the #Maldives tourist resort staff have now completed their 2nd dose of COVID Vaccine. Irrespective of the recent surge of cases in the #CapitalCity, Maldives remain one of the safest destinations of the world.

No. The best is for all to stay at home all the time. But that is impossible so by doing this at least for 12 hours movement is limited and to some extent reduces the ability for the virus to spread. Nothing to do with Covid waking up night
10 years ago I had to have a discectomy on two levels of my spine and a Maldivian doctor told me that the surgey can be done in the maldives as good or perhaps even better than any other country in the world.
Proud to launch the first issue of “Maldives Tourism Bulletin” - a tourism magazine by the @MoTmv. I’m confident that the magazine would prove a useful source of information for industry stakeholders, students and visitors. https://t.co/6i7YnKgOte
Investment will be boosted by instilling investor confidence through government policies prioritising development in these regions. Further regulatory changes in the pipeline to promote development and restart stalled projects.
