The government has opened the bidding process to develop resorts in Haa Alif Medhafushi and Shaviyani Nalandhoo islands.
Interested parties can attend the tourism ministry before September 21 to submit the bids. The tender book can be purchased before submitting the bid.
According to the announcement, minimum 120 rooms must be built in Medhafushi which covers an area of about 12 hectares and 200 rooms should be built in Nalandhoo, which covers an area of 63 hectares.
