Given the island nations’ blessed environment, it seemed only natural for past leaders to shape Maldives’ economy to rely on tourism since the industry was first established in 1972. Today, a stay in the premier tourist destination is marketed promising an unforgettable experience - a day in ‘The Sunny Side of Life’.
