Addu City Council aims to assist in the development of 2000 guest house beds in six areas across the country’s southernmost atoll.
The council’s Guesthouse Tourism Promotion Board – to be established this week – will also oversee five diving centers, six watersports centres, six restaurants, and a sailing club.
“The biggest problem we have in Addu right now is lack of job opportunities. Adduans work in tourism all over the Maldives,” explained Mayor Abdulla ‘Soabe’ Sodiq.
“This venture will allow them to work in their home islands and also open up opportunities to start their own businesses.”
