Maldives announced a state of public health emergency on March 12, with reported cases of coronavirus, introducing a series of unprecedented restrictive and social distancing measures, including a ban on inter-island transport and public gatherings across the country.
As the restrictions are being eased in phases, Maldives reopened its borders on July 15, allowing resorts and hotels on uninhabited islands as well as liveaboard vessels to host tourists if the Health Protection Agency (HPA)’s guidelines were being followed.
Since then, tourist arrivals have increased through the resorts reopening, which has shown the benefits from the work done in reviving the tourism industry and we are seeing more liveaboards such as yachts arrive on the islands. As such we have seen the first yachts arrive at Uligamu island today.
