President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih who is campaigning for re-election has promised to build a campus of a world-renowned hospitality school if given a second term.
For the past five years, one of the most important tasks conducted by the Tourism Ministry was to conduct research on ways to promote tourism on local islands.
Speaking in Gaaf Dhaal Vaadhoo island during a campaign tour, Solih said the tourism policy will be expanded if he is elected for a second term.
He pledged to build a campus of a world-renowned hospitality school in the country to expand tourism in local islands and ensure key tourism jobs for Maldivians.
“We will hopefully establish a campus of a world-renowned hospitality school,” Solih said.
“When the land use plan of each island is made, the human resources linked to it should be included in it, so that every island will have jobs and trained youth,” he elaborated.
The manifesto for the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) includes the introduction of a student visa to encourage foreign students to study in the Maldives.
