This comes as the Ministry announced its plans to allow guest houses to re-open on 15th of October, allowing tourists to travel to all parts of the country, as well as the decision of the Ministry to allow “split” stay options for tourists which would enable tourists to stay at multiple resorts during their stay, as opposed to the more restrictive vacation options available for tourists now.
As Maldives moves on to kick-start the tourism industry of the country, the number of Covid-19 cases in the country is still on the rise with Maldives exceeding the 8,000 mark of Covid-19 cases in the country.
