PNC MP Azaan Urges Muizzu Government to Reconsider Halal Tourism Shift in Hankede

PNC MP Ahmed Azaan Marzooq urged the government to reverse the decision to convert the Hankede Integrated Tourism Project in Addu City into a halal tourism development. Azaan expressed concerns that the decision was made without stakeholder consultation and risks eroding investor confidence. The project, initially funded by a US$142.9 million loan from Bank of China and contracted to CNEC, was at an advanced stage. President Muizzu announced the shift to a halal tourism strategy covering six islands. Opposition leader Fayyaz Ismail accused the government of deliberately stalling the project.
