Tourism Ministry to Establish Task Force to Reopen Shangri-La Resort in Addu City

The Tourism Ministry announced it will form a special task force to reopen the Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa in Addu City, which has been closed since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. High-level discussions were held with Shangri-La executives, attended by Addu City lawmakers, and the government divested its stake in the resort in August 2023 due to pandemic-related financial losses.
