The tourism ministry announced Thursday plans to review industry regulations and inspect all resorts, guesthouses and safari vessels in the country.
The inspections come after the drowning of three tourists in separate incidents and fire accidents on two resort islands so far this year.
“We have decided to inspect all tourist facilities in the Maldives within the next six to eight months. Regular monitoring must be done to ensure that regulations are followed,” Tourism Minister Ali Waheed told reporters.
Teams comprised of ministry officials, police and military will carry out random inspections, he added.
