    The COVID‑19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented changes to our daily life. It has impacted the whole world and has forced governments to take extreme measures, ravel restrictions were imposed from late February on tourists from the largest tourist markets and the decisions taken to suspend issuing of arrival visas. This has a tremendous impact and halted the tourist operations in the country. In the Maldives, 45,000 employees were affected due to the COVID‑19 pandemic. This article looks at the different measures adopted by the companies in the tourism industry within the legal arena of contract law and the employment law. This analysis was conducted through interviews with employees on measures undertaken, and the procedure followed to implement the measures. The results show that, the employer acted in good faith; however the adherence to legal principles were weak within the industry.
