Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih said Fuvahmulah City shows the benefits of devolving powers to local councils, speaking at a campaign event there ahead of Saturday's local council elections. He credited the city council and residents for turning Fuvahmulah into a globally recognized tiger shark tourism destination, citing tourist bed and arrival figures.
Tracked over 8,000 Tourist arrivals
One outlet so far Only The Edition has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The results of devolving powers can be clearly seen in Fuvahmulah
Today, through their efforts, Fuvahmulah has become a globally recognized destination for tiger shark tourism.
This year, that number has increased by 40 percent. This is what happens when powers are devolved and local communities take the lead
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Solih noted that the city now has more than 400 tourist beds and recorded over 8,000 tourist arrivals last year.
