Islamic countries have had different approaches to seaside tourism development. Since the 1970’s and the opening to tourism, the Maldives have been developing strategies to contain tourists to private islands and minimize the contact with locals, whom would live on different islands. Tourism has long since been established as a ‘luxury’ destination, housing some of the world’s most expensive resorts and top brands, while entertaining little to none middle and low-budget tourists. This situation has changed with the recent laws allowing operation of guesthouses in local islands other than the capital city of Male’ and the island situated next to the international airport, some parts of the country have experienced a boom in guesthouse tourism. Opportunities for a variety of local business ventures (such as watersports providers, hostels and food outlets) opened up creating more community involvement, which contrasts greatly with the past tourism organisation. More and more guesthouses are opening in different islands and atolls of the Maldives, providing cheaper holidaying options and a more “authentic” experience compared to the one island one-resort concept. This situation, by its novelty, creates new opportunities and challenges in the socio-cultural context of the Maldives and remains debated.Item Addressing barriers to effective climate change adaptation in the water and wastewater services in resorts and dependent communities: Increasing.

Losses of over 50 billion US dollars in gross domestic product in the region are expected in the travel and tourism sector alone as a result of the crisis. Governments are already responding with emergency programs to help small and medium enterprises stay afloat and save jobs. As the South Asia region moves from crisis to recovery planning, governments and destinations have an opportunity to think strategically about the future of their tourism sectors and implement policies that will improve the industry. This regional brief is designed to raise awareness of the importance of tourism to the region and to the World Bank's regional portfolio, highlight some measures being taken by governments and the Bank to address the crisis, and provide recommendations for short- and medium-term sustainable regional recovery, including through greater intraregional tourism. The brief covers Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan was excluded due to a lack of data.Item Development of tourism in Maldives(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2012-04-04) Kundur, Suresh KumarItem Dynamic panel data modelling of international tourist arrivals to Maldives : research and policy notes RPN 4-19(Maldives Monetary Authority, 2019-09) Saudulla, Mohamed ImthinanThis paper aims to model international tourist arrivals to Maldives. Using panel data of annual tourist arrivals from 35 countries, various models were estimated for the time period 2001-2016. Four different econometric models which include, the pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), the “within” fixed effect panel regression model, the Arellano-Bond Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimation technique, and the Blundell-Bond system GMM technique, were used to identify the main determinants of inbound tourism in Maldives. The results indicate the high fidelity of tourists visiting Maldives, as well as, the significance of income of the tourist generating country in determining the number of arrivals. In addition, results also illustrate, the importance of excluding mutually exclusive variables for exchange rates and prices in the empirical modelItem The economics of shark and ray watching in the Maldives(Marine Research Centre, 2001-07) Anderson, Charles; Waheed, Ali; ޗާރލްސް އެންޑާރސަން; އަލީ ވަހީދުItem Evolution of tourism industry in the Maldives(2021-09) Zuhuree, IbrahimItem Factors that motivate Maldivians (locals) to work in resorts(Ministry of Tourism, 2015-01-01) The Maldives Tourism Adaptation ProjectItem 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 Gaps and disincentives that exist in the policies, laws and regulations which act as barriers to investing in climate change adaptation in the tourism sector of the Maldives: Increasing Climate Change Resilience of Maldives through Adaptation in the Tourism Sector(Ministry of Tourism, 2015-01-01) Shakeela, Aishath; Becken, Susanne; Johnstone, NicoleItem The good sense of eco-tourism(Explore Maldives, 1998-11-01) Donnellan, Kate; ކޭޓް ޑޮނެލަންItem Growth Potential of Tourism Taxation in Maldives(Maldives National Library, 2011-09-10) Najeeb, Fazeel; Serkan Tosun, MehmetItem The guest-house segment of the tourism industry 1 : growth in numbers and geographic expansion(Maldives Economic Review, 2019-04-13) Shakoor, Ibrahim Athif; އިބްރާހިމް އާތިފް ޝަކޫރްItem The guest-house segment of the tourism industry 3 : findings and recommendations(Maldives Economic Review, 2019-09) Shakoor, Ibrahim Athif; އިބްރާހިމް އާތިފް ޝަކޫރްItem HRM roles in paradise : strategic or administrative? a study of tourist resorts in the Maldives(2021-03) Najeeb, Ali; ޢަލީ ނަޖީބުUsing multiple case study data obtained from seven tourist resorts in the Maldives, this study explores human resource management (HRM) roles and the extent to which these roles reflect strategic human resource management (SHRM) characteristics. The findings show that although strategic, administrative, welfare, employee advocacy and change agent roles are part of the HR department’s remit in resorts, driven by market and competitive conditions, HR actors are increasingly adopting SHRM roles. Along with these roles, the study identifies context-specific HR competencies required for HR actors to carry out their roles. The study also highlights the importance of a strategic role for resorts operating in a complex, dynamic and unpredictable hospitality industry in general, and international hotel chains in particular, to achieve competitive advantage.Item Human resource policies : striving for sustainable tourism outcomes in the Maldives(Centre for Tourism Research and Development, 2012) Shakeela, Aishath; Ruhanen, Lisa; Breakey, NoreenItem 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 Introduction of financial instruments to cover and transfer the risks of climate hazards in the sector of tourism for the Maldives: Increasing Climate Change Resilience of Maldives through Adaptation in the Tourism Sector(Ministry of Tourism, 2015-01-01) The Maldives Tourism Adaptation ProjectItem Investing in the Maldives tourism sector(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2007-10-24) Ministry of Tourism and Civil AviationItem It’s the time to make a pause and reflect about leasing additional tourist resorts to bridge the fiscal deficit(Economic review, 2021-09) Shakoor, Ibrahim AthifItem It’s time to take a pause and reflect about leasing additional tourist resorts to bridge the fiscal deficit(2021-09) އިބްރާހިމް އާތިފް ޝަކޫރް; Shakoor, Ibrahim AthifItem The Maldives : offering new investment opportunities across the board(The Japan Times, 2008-03-24) The Japan TimesItem The Maldives : parallel paths of conventional and alternative tourism(Department of Tourism, Sport and Hotel Management Griffith University, Australia, 2016) Shakeela, Aishath; Weaver, DavidItem Item Maldives development update, June 2020 : in stormy seas(World Bank, 2020-06) World Bank Group; ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕްFollowing three consecutive years of growth above 6 percent, the Maldivian economy kept momentum in 2019. Preliminary estimates indicate that real GDP decelerated slightly to 5.3 percent, from 6.9 percent in the previous year. Tourist arrivals reached a record high of 1.7 million, a 14.7 percent increase from 2018. Strong tourism growth compensated for softer construction activity, which grew by only 3.1 percent as many large infrastructure projects were completed in late 2018. This marked the slowest rate of construction growth since the public investment boom began in 2014. The global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted the Maldives’ economy more than any other country in South Asia. Although the Government acted quickly to protect lives, barring incoming travelers from affected areas as early as February 3 and closing its borders on March 27, a substantial domestic outbreak commenced on April 15. As this report is being written, nearly 2,000 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and 8 have lost their lives to the disease. The real toll of the pandemic, however, is much higher, with thousands of livelihoods affected by the shutdown of tourism. Tourist arrivals fell by 11.1 and 63.4 percent year-on-year (y-on-y) in February and March respectively and remained at zero for the entire second quarter. Cumulatively, the 65 percent y-on-y fall in tourist arrivals from February-May 2020 exceeds the decline in tourist arrivals experienced in the four months after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Construction has also been affected, as half the COVID-19 cases affect Bangladeshi nationals, many of whom work in the sector, and as external financing has dried up.Item Maldives third tourism master plan 2007-2011(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2011-01-01) Ministry of Tourism and Civil AviationItem The Maldives tourism : a snapshot of pre & post covid(Ministry of Tourism, 2022) Mausoom, AbdullaItem Maldives Tourism Bulletin(Ministry of Tourism, 2021-01)Item Maldives visitor survey 2013 February(Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, 2013-04-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and cultureItem Maldives visitor survey February 2016(Ministry of Tourism, 2016-02-01) Ministry of TourismItem Maldives visitor survey February 2017(Ministry of Tourism, 2017-02-01) Ministry of TourismItem Maldives visitor survey October 2013(Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture, 2013-10-01) Ministry of Tourism Arts and culture
