The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation and UNFPA Maldives have signed an MOU to introduce the People-Centered Community Tourism Empowerment Model. This initiative aims to increase public participation in the tourism sector by considering the needs and sentiments of local communities in tourism expansion. The first phase will involve mapping, laying the groundwork for future capacity building and productivity phases. The agreement is seen as a significant step towards building a new tourism model that benefits communities and recognizes individuals as key stakeholders in the Maldives' sustainable development.
