Maldives Government Seeks Bids to Develop and Operate Resorts
On 17 January, the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) announced three islands to be leased as a cluster from Shaviyani Atoll Maldives. This announcement came as a revision to MoT’s initial Invitation for Bids (IFB) first published on 26 October 2021 welcoming investment opportunities for foreign and local investors interested in developing and operating a tourist resort in the country.
The newly announced three islands are Dhigurah, Medhurah and Mairah (Dhiguvelidhoo) with USD 1,200,000 set as the minimum lease acquisition cost for all three cluster islands from Shaviyani Atoll. The revised IFB now entails 19 available islands for tourism investment.
