MATI Delays Reethi Raajje’ Event Amid Rising Tensions With MMA
The Maldives Association of Tourism Industry (MATI) postponed the Thursday launch of its Reethi Raajje' National Campaign, announced on Wednesday via X, amid a dispute with the Maldives Monetary Authority over new foreign exchange regulations gazetted on Tuesday. The rules require transactions in Maldivian Rufiyaa and impose fixed foreign exchange amounts on tourism establishments, which MATI says could burden smaller businesses.
