tourism from the UK. The focus will be on art and design, food and wine and cultural tourism. With the rand at its weakest level (against the pound) since 2009, the country will likely be more attractive in 2013. Uganda saw more than 1.1 million
visitors in 2011, up 34% on 2010. The Maldives is continuing to
develop resort islands, with four opening this year alone. A new domestic airport has opened on the island of Kooddoo, in Gaafu Alifu Atoll, opening up more remote atolls in the south of country.
TOURISM TALK
AHMED ADEEB ABDUL GAFOOR Maldives Minister of Tourism
“Our projection for next year is very positive. This year the UK market is a bit down on last year because of the economic situation. “We currently have 106 islands in operation, with more islands to come. Next year we will hopefully have another four resorts operating. We are still in the developing stage of Maldives tourism.”
