Maldives tourism industry is headed towards celebrating its golden jubilee in 2022. While Maldives government has already initiated a splendid countdown event for the celebratory year – which is expected to involve year-long celebrations in varying degrees – the country's tourism industry has observed monumental growth through the near five decades.
In recent years the country's tourism industry had seen collective transformation in terms of the services, facilities and even the market segments, tourism concepts as well as the architectural aspects. While the country's strongest economic sector is entering into a new age, it will be interesting to take a walk across the memory lane to see just how much the designs of the buildings in tourist properties have changed over the years.
