The
manifesto for President Ibrahim Mohamed Solihs reign includes introducing new
types of tourism into the Maldives, and the work has already kicked off by
tourism ministry.
In the
press conference held on Thursday, Minister Ali Waheed stated that the work to
make a "diver's tourism section", and an "island tourism section" for the
guesthouse business, has started.
Sports tourism, medical tourism, adventure tourism as well as other types of tourism are said to be included in the manifesto. Thats why diver's tourism section will be comprised of technical people. The time taken to complete this will be to approve the finances and then the process through civil services, so says Ali Waheed.
To introduce sports tourism into the country, the Tourism Minister has started plans to bring in one foreign club each year to the Maldives.
When
the diver's tourism section was created to develop the new products in the
industry, the main products which had been marketed in favor of the Maldives were
under the theme of sun, sand and sea. However other countries have been doing
things such as cultural tourism to promote their country.
