Dollar ATM to be installed in Fulidhoo

A dollar ATM will be installed in Vaavu Atoll Fulidhoo to support the island’s growing local tourism sector.

Speaking during his visit to Vaavu Atoll, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu highlighted Fulidhoo’s importance as a local tourism hub, noting that the island contributes significantly to state revenue through TGST. 

He said the island has a large circulation of dollars due to tourism activity, and the ATM will make transactions more convenient for residents and visitors.

The installation is expected to be completed before March next year.

Fulidhoo is among the most popular guesthouse tourism destinations in Vaavu Atoll. The atoll itself is a major attraction for divers, with sites such as the former “shipwreck” drawing tourists from various locations.
