The resorts in the archipelago of the Maldives attract visitors with the promise of offering “the last paradise on earth” with the help of a Maldives travel guide. Those who have enjoyed  pristine paradise of tropical islands where the palm trees, white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons return again and again to enjoy their magic.

This is one of the world’s major destinations for divers who visit the Atols.  They are attracted by the beauty of its coral reefs and rich marine life. However, there is not suitable facility’s for backpackers with a low budget or for lovers of independent travel.  Any Maldives travel guide will tell you that tourism is controlled with scrupulous guidelines with a management plan that identifies the tourism environment.

The Robinson Crusoe lifestyle is one of the main attractions, but Maldives travel guide recommendations consider this incompatible with mass tourism, low budget and large scale tourism is strictly discouraged. The lack of local resources forces the importation of a large portion of the needs of visitors, from furniture to fresh vegetables, so it is impossible for the Maldives travel guide to offer holidays that can compete on price.

The strategy used was based on developing a limited number of quality centres on each uninhabited island, free of traffic, crime and rampant commercialism.

The strategy also seeks tourists and guide Maldives on a path to minimize the harmful effects of tourism on traditional Muslim communities. Passengers may often make brief visits to fishing villages and then return to the more tourist related areas. Most feel happy to glimpse local life and local culture but those wishing to stay longer or travel to the atolls outside recreational areas, must argue a compelling reason and have a special permit together to local guarantor as well as the services of a licensed Maldives travel guide.

Like it or not, this so rigidly controlled tourism industry has achieved a huge success, there are a relatively small number of  high quality resorts, the number of visitors is increasing steadily and the impact on the natural and social environment is minimal. The Maldives is internationally recognized as a model for sustainable tourism development that respects the environment and serves as an eco tourism guide. Maldives quality of accommodations and facilities is the envy of many other destinations that have allowed uncontrolled and destructive tourism expansion.
