Tourism Minister says Safari and Yacht business needs to be widen

Minister of Tourism Moosa Zameer has said that Safari and Yacht business needs to be widened throughout Maldives.

Speaking at a ceremony held at the Ritrella Safari, Tuesday night, to launch the Marine Expo 2017, Minister Zameer highlighted the areas where airports are currently developed, stating that those areas are of interest for such markets. He said that while the bed capacity of the resorts would be increased with the government's huge developmental project of the Velana International Airport, the bed capacity of the Safaris and Yacht should increase likewise.

The annual marine expo organized by Liveaboard Association of Maldives will be held in September this year. Maldives Marine Expo is a platform for local boating industry professionals to meet and connect with others from the industry around the world. Marine Expo 2017 is the fourth edition of its kind.
