MATI Proposes Increasing Foreign Hires in Tourism Industry

The Maldives Association of Tourism Industries (MATI) has proposed raising the share of foreign employees in resorts to 70 percent, citing a People First HR study that finds too few Maldivians are available to staff the tourism industry through 2027. The study forecasts the industry will need 78,087 employees by 2027, while Bureau of Statistics figures show foreigners already make up 70 percent of resort workers.
