Maldives High Commissioner to Malaysia Dr Mariyam Shabeena Ahmed said the Maldives aims to develop a comprehensive halal tourism framework over the next three to five years, drawing on Malaysia's expertise in standards, regulation and certification. She said the push would build on the country's luxury market while supporting investment, youth employment and local island communities, and identified climate change as the Maldives' biggest threat.

We’re just adding on the Islamic, Muslim-friendly component into it so that the Muslim travellers do not have to compromise their quality, luxury travel or holiday with their religious belief
