Minister Ali Waheed has announced that tourist scouts will start their services from January 2020 onwards.

The Tourism Ministry and the Councils will conduct the program as a joint project between them.

The training of the tourism scouts is ongoing and will be completed before the end of December 2019.

The initiative of the tourist scout program aims to secure the safety of the tourist arrivals and guarantee a safe environment for the tourists vacationing at Maldives.

The tourist scouts will initially be stationed at islands prone to incidents prior to being introduced across all over the country, informed the Minister. The islands were chosen after considering the bed numbers and accidents reported.

Water safety trained lifeguards will be sent off to the islands to push this initiative. According to the Tourism Ministry, for the first phase of the project, 50 lifeguards will be introduced to 19 islands,
