The Ministry of Tourism has reassured the world that the Maldives remains a safe and secure destination for tourists, following controversial remarks made by State Minister Mohammed Nihad.

The Ministry released a statement on Tuesday clarifying that Nihad's comments, alleging that the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) was planning an attack targeting the tourism industry, do not reflect the government's official position. As a result, Nihad has been suspended from his duties, and the matter is under investigation.

The Ministry emphasized that the Maldives is a welcoming destination for travelers and continues to attract millions of visitors. This year, the country is approaching the milestone of welcoming 2 million tourists, a testament to the trust and confidence tourists have in the Maldives.

Under the leadership of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, the government remains committed to ensuring a peaceful, enjoyable experience for all visitors. The Ministry has extended an open invitation to travelers worldwide to discover the unmatched beauty and serenity of the Maldives.

The Ministry also reiterated its dedication to showcasing the country’s rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and the warmth of its hospitality, inviting visitors to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and create cherished memories in its tranquil surroundings.
