JJ Robinson: What is the occasion of this visit?
Marco Cisini: We are ending a 25 year long love story with Maafushivaru (in Ari Atoll) and Universal Group. We decided it was very important we come and visit before the island closed and is refurbished and upgraded. After that it will go to a new tour operator.
JJ: How has the market changed over 25 years?
