Maldives to Address Low Local Representation in Tourism Workforce

Census data shows 58,089 people work in the Maldives' tourism industry, but only 40 percent (22,377) are Maldivians, with just 1,866 of them female. Minister of Tourism Ibrahim Faisal acknowledged the decline and said the administration is committed to countering it, highlighting scholarship opportunities and a planned hotel school affiliated with a world-class hospitality school.
