Islands.mv web portal launched

The portal has pages for local islands with information on how to get there, places to stay and things to do.

“Islands.mv will act as the digital front office of each island, providing comprehensive information for interested visitors, including its unique features, tourist facilities and resources available, and economic activities in the island,” according to the president’s office.

The government’s aim is to allow island councils to update the web portal, Science and Technology Minister Mohamed Maleeh Jamal said at the launching ceremony. Training will be provided to council staff and the ministry will work with the National Centre for Information Technology to maintain the site, he added.
