Even in times of crisis you do not give up on the holiday, and when ever? Due to the crisis, however, the destinations do not vary, but the ways of traveling vary but this also has positive implications. Destinations such as Maldives always considered places prohibitive become accessible to everyone again, how? In the simplest way possible, living the holiday like a local.
In times of crisis, the tourist machine does not stop and regains momentum, 40 years later, where it started from: hospitality in 3-4 star villages on the "local islands" (those inhabited by fishermen and workers), different from the island-resorts that are the masters in the super exclusive panorama, so dear to Italian tourists.
The project of guesthouse, practiced before 1984 and resumed in 2011 limited to the capital Male, concerns several local islands according to a standard agreed with Italians and Europeans: 6-8 rooms maximum, plus kitchen, living room, beach, with diving opportunities and sailing school.
The development of this rapidly expanding segment involves 14 islands located in the north and south of the archipelago: the management of the guesthouse is Maldivian, the investment can also be Italian (100-150 thousand euros), taxes of only 8% for the tourist tax, contract between land owner and investor, room price between 100 and 150 dollars per night.
