The ministry made the remarks after the police announced that they are investigating into local travel agencies involved in scamming tourists by charging money in advance for reservations, without paying the resorts.
“Visitors are advised to check the list of travel agents if reservations are made by a local travel agent in the Maldives. This is to protect clients interest and avoid any unforeseen situations,” the Tourism Ministry said.
