Jafari, 1989-12) Sathiendrakumar, Rajasundram; Tisdell, ClemAbstract: Tourism continues to play a major role in the economic development of Asian and Pacific countries. However, tourism development is not without concerns. This article considers the economic and related consequences of international tourism for the Maldives. The Maldives, like many island developing countries has a narrow resource base, its main natural resources consisting of fisheries and a marine environment conducive to international tourism. The article pays particular attention to the ability of the tourist industry to absorb fishermen displaced by technological change. In considering the costs and benefits of international tourism, attention is given to such factors as the extent to which the tourist industry employs local inhabitants (as distinct from foreigners) and provides alternative employment opportunities for them; its possible consequences for the balance of payments and public finance; and competition and opportunity cost considerations. Keywords: The Maldives, economic development, foreign exchange, change. R&U&: Le tourisme et le developpement economique des Maldives.

Based on the results of the previous such survey, Tourist Opinion Survey 1999, this survey of 2004 is carried out to determine key variables as they relate to tourist opinion with regard to the Maldives as a destination, and services and facilities available in the Maldives in relation to expectations. In this regard 3241 returned questionnaires from a target group of mainly Italian, British and German departing tourists is analyzed in this report and studied separately in a comparative analysis. The majority of respondents belong to age groups between 26-35 years with 7% more male respondents than females. They were mainly employed in the private sector or self- employed. Majority of the respondents stated lower range incomes while less people stated their income in the mid-range. Higher range of income occurred more than mid- range incomes. About 30% stated that they spent over US$5000 for an average duration of stay of 8 days holiday in the Maldives. The main source of information about the Maldives was from friends and relatives followed by Travel Agents and multi-media promotions. Around 10% said that they had difficulty in organizing their holiday to the Maldives due to constraints in room availability, airline seats and lack of information. The majority booked their holiday through established as well as new tour operators or travel agents. Internet bookings at 7% are greater than the 4% FIT bookings on arrival. About 18% are repeaters, some repeating more than 4-5 times. They come generally, keen to enjoy the natural environment, on full-board or all-inclusive accommodation, with about 30% combining their holiday with another country. While most respondents stated leisure and marine related activities as the purpose of visit, significantly 30% stated honeymoon as specific purpose of visit. Spa and Health activities in the Maldives are a new trend that is also on the increase.The majority of respondents rated their place of stay in the Maldives as excellent and also said that the services in the Airport were good. Services and facilities in Malé, the commercial and cultural Capital were also rated high. However, less than 30% of the tourist surveyed, mainly younger people, had visited the capital, Malé, out of who about a third or about 6% of total respondents said that they were not satisfied due to harassment by hawkers, lack of time and congestion in the city. Most of the respondents were very satisfied with their visit to the Maldives, felt it was good Value for Money and said they would come back. Over 95% of the respondents said that they would recommend the Maldives to others. Comparative analysis of the 2004 and 1999 survey data show that most demographic and product related variables are parallel to and confirmed by other national and international statistics and research. Nevertheless, based on the expressed opinions of the tourists surveyed, even if such criticisms were far and few, key areas are identified and in conclusion specific recommendations are made at the end of the comparative analysis. The general conclusion is that in the opinion of tourists, the Maldives remains a very desirable place that meets or exceeds expectations of the overwhelming majority.Item Post-tsunami Review Workshops and Seminar, 24-31 May 2005(Ministry of Tourism, 2005-05-31) Ministry of TourismItem ފަތުރުވެރިކަމާއި ތަރިކަ(ދިވެހިބަހާއި ތާރީޚަށް ޚިދުމަތްކުރާ ޤައުމީ މަރުކަޒު, 2005-06-01) މުޙައްމަދު ވަހީދު; Waheed, MohamedItem ހަނދާނުން ނުފިލާނެ ކޮރެއާ ދަތުރު(Dhivehi Bahaai Thareekhah Khidhumaikuraa Qaumee Marukazu, 2006-10-01) Falaah, Shamsul; ޝަމްސުލް ފަލާޙްItem Investing in the Maldives tourism sector(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2007-10-24) Ministry of Tourism and Civil AviationItem ތަރައްޤީގެ ދުވެލި 23 : ފަތުރުވެރިކަމުގެ ތަރައްޤީގެ 35 އަހަރު(މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ޓޫރިޒަމް އެންޑް ސިވިލްއޭވިއޭޝަން, 2008-01-01) މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ޓޫރިޒަމް އެންޑް ސިވިލްއޭވިއޭޝަން; Ministry of Tourism and Civil AviationItem The Maldives : offering new investment opportunities across the board(The Japan Times, 2008-03-24) The Japan TimesItem The politics of tourism : a perspective from the Maldives(Nanyang Technological University, 2008-08-03) Henderson, Joan C.Item ފަތުރުވެރިކަމާއި ތަރިކަ(ދިވެހިބަހާއި ތާރީޚަށް ޚިދުމަތްކުރާ ޤައުމީ މަރުކަޒު, 2009-03-01) Waheed, Mohamed; މުޙައްމަދު ވަޙީދުItem ފަތުރުވެރިކަމާއި ނުލައި ދިވެހިރާއްޖެ ކުރިއެރުވިދާނެބާ؟(Dhivehi Bahaai Thareekhah Khidhumaikuraa Qaumee Marukazu, 2009-05-01) Imran, Mohamed; މުޙައްމަދު އިމްރާންItem ދިވެހި ދަތުރު ވެރިޔެއްގެ ގަލަމުން - ޕެރިސް!(2009-08-01) ޙަސަން ޙަމީދު; Hameed, HassanItem ދިވެހި ދަތުރު ވެރިޔެއްގެ ގަލަމުން - ޕެރިސް!(2009-08-01) ޙަސަން ޙަމީދު; Hameed, HassanItem Tourist arrival statistics January 2010(Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, 2010-01) Ministry of Tourism, Arts and CultureItem Tourist update brief analysis in tourism indicators July 2010 volume 2, issue 9(Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, 2010-07) Ministry of TourismItem Tourist update brief analysis in tourism indicators September 2010 volume 2, issue 10(Ministry of Tourism, 2010-09) Ministry of TourismItem Tourism in the Maldives : experiencing the difference from the Maldives(University of Le Havre (Cirtai/UMR IDEES), 2010-09) Auvray, BénédicteItem Tourist update : brief analysis in tourism indicators, December 2010 : volume 2, issue 11(Ministry of Tourism, 2010-12) Ministry of TourismItem Maldives third tourism master plan 2007-2011(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2011-01-01) Ministry of Tourism and Civil AviationItem ފަތުރުވެރިކަމާ ނުލައި ދިވެހިރާއްޖެ ކުރިއެރުވިދާނެބާ؟(ުދިވެހިބަހާއި ތާރީޚާ ބެހޭ މަރުކަޒު, 2011-02) ފާތިމަތު ސަހިއްޔާ; Sahiyya, FathimathItem Tourist update brief analysis in tourism indicators September 2011 volume 3, issue 12(Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture, 2011-09) Ministry of TourismItem Tourism Yearbook 2011(Ministry of Tourism Arts and Culture, 2011-09-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and CultureItem Strategic human resources development plan for the tourism industry 2011-2015 – draft 4(Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture, 2011-09-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and cultureItem Growth Potential of Tourism Taxation in Maldives(Maldives National Library, 2011-09-10) Najeeb, Fazeel; Serkan Tosun, MehmetItem Tourist update brief analysis in tourism indicators December 2011 volume 3(Ministry of Tourism, 2011-12) Ministry of TourismItem The impacts of tourism on a population of manta rays, Baa Atoll, Republic of Maldives(Guy Stevens, 2012) Lynam, BexThe popularity of marine tourism has increased steadily over recent decades and is considered more sustainable than consumptive use of marine megafauna. The seasonal migration of manta rays to Republic of Maldives has resulted in a significant increase in the number of tourists participating in manta-related activities. Heavy site use has led to observations of disturbance that has the potential to cause detrimental impacts to manta rays health and behaviour. This increase in tourism pressure and possible detrimental impacts indicates investigation into human interactions with manta rays should be conducted. Video footage of interactions between humans and manta rays were filmed at cleaning and feeding stations within Baa Atoll, Maldives. A total of 263 unique interactions of both divers and snorkelers were filmed and analysed for a number of variable including interaction type and the response elicited from manta rays. Humans exhibited behaviours such as following, intentional touching, diving under and passive observations. Manta rays reacted to interactions with response behaviours such as avoidance, flight, course re-direction and no response. The findings suggest that human behaviours are largely passive and cause relatively little disturbance to manta rays natural behaviour. A number of minor and major disturbance behaviours can be addressed by initiating the use of a code of conduct by tourism operators. A precautionary approach to managing manta ray tourism must be taken in order to prevent tourism on larger scales causing disturbance and potentially affecting the long term health of the manta ray population. At current levels of tourism, in-water encounters appear to be sustainable and provide a significant source of revenue without long term detrimental impacts to manta raysItem Human resource policies : striving for sustainable tourism outcomes in the Maldives(Centre for Tourism Research and Development, 2012) Shakeela, Aishath; Ruhanen, Lisa; Breakey, NoreenItem Development of tourism in Maldives(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2012-04-04) Kundur, Suresh KumarItem Maldives visitor survey 2013 February(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2013-04-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and cultureItem Fourth tourism master plan 2013-2017: volume 1: strategic action plan(Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture, 2013-09-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and cultureItem Maldives visitor survey October 2013(Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture, 2013-10-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture
