Does the requirement for a negative PCR test result during departure from the Maldives put the country in a much safer, precautionary position, or does it distract new bookings? What does the industry or nation achieve from this requirement?

With the reopening of Maldivian borders on July 15, 2020, there has been a rise in the number of guests who wish for longer stays. Would it be a challenge if guests are not allowed to have split stays in the country such as Resort-Liveaboard and Guesthouse-Liveaboard?

As we reopen our borders, welcoming the world to the Maldives, will it be feasible for the government or tourist establishments to handle quarantine and isolation expenses of travellers without a dedicated COVID-19 coverage insurance for tourists?

We have heard recently from several industry players that the virus is creating dollar liquidity concerns. To what extent is liquidity tightening in trade? How is trade changing as the world moves into the “new normal” post-COVID?
