President and Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has pledged to expand tourism activities in Thaa atoll on Sunday evening, August 27.
Speaking at the campaign rally held in Thaa atoll Thimarafushi, president Solih said one of the top priorities of his administration is to expand tourism activities across the Maldives.
He said that Thaa Atoll had been denied the opportunity to fully benefit from tourism activities and had been neglected by previous administrations. President Solih highlighted that the atoll currently only boasts a limited number of tourist resorts.
The president said that while Thimarafushi in Thaa atoll already has a regional airport, the port's operations will significantly improve once tourism activities are fully established in the atoll.
During the campaign rally, president Solih pledged to initiate tourism activities on Hilianfushi, which is situated near Thimarafushi. He highlighted the plans to develop Kashimeedhoo in the atoll as a tourist resort, while several other islands neighboring Thaa atoll Veymandoo will be opened for tourist resort development as well.
