The Cabinet has decided to lease two uninhabited islands for resort development to the party currently operating Kolhumadulu Thimarafushi Domestic Airport.
During today’s discussion, the Cabinet noted that leasing uninhabited islands for resort development would help recover the cost of developing the airport last year.
The government last year reclaimed 31 hectares of land for airport construction.
Cabinet members also concluded that opening new resorts is also expected to promote industrial growth and increase job opportunities for locals.
