That’s the reason for me to seek every possibility to progress in this dynamic industry. I am living in it. I have acquired education to put value on myself in this fascinating domain. I am still engaged in tourism both practically and academically. Never seized seeking knowledge in this field. My journey as a tourist begins at childhood. I travelled many miles to gain knowledge. With love and trust, I left my parents at the age of 7, to initiate my school age. And ever since, I am deeply involved with my mission Continue reading »

“Katie Price could be jailed over nude sunbathing in the Muslim Maldives” The Mirror - UK reports.
According to The Mirror, Lying naked on a sunbed, “are the images that could land Katie Price in hot water with the authorities on the Maldives.”
The online news bulletin still reports;
“The 30-year-old flouted strict Muslim laws by stripping off to catch some rays - a crime that can end up with unsuspecting tourists flung into jail.”
According to the Mirror, The UK Foreign Office travel advice warns that: “Nudism and topless sunbathing are prohibited throughout the Maldives including on resort islands.”
This seems a bit exaggerated by the news paper. The truth is, Maldives is a very tolerant country and we know what Maldivian tourism means to us. We know how to handle it as well.
The funniest and most obvious thing is the way how our competitor destinations are dealing with this news. For example, “Thailand News online” elaborates this news on it’s headline www.thaindian.com. Guys, don’t make it a big thing cox she probably knew what she was doing. Perhaps Maldivian beaches are too alluring and seductive. Leave along the romance in it.

“The introduction of a new pension scheme will provide a degree of income protection for the elderly and is a much needed progressive step for Maldives, as at present the majority of workers do not participate in a pension scheme of any kind,” said Naoko Ishii, World Bank Country Director for Sri Lanka and the Maldives.” This project will also lay the foundation for other social protection programs being considered for the medium term.”

The days are gone when something was made in one country and exported. Products now contain parts from all over the world. Like the unique barbie doll and Boeing Jets.
“…The World Bank says that, since the G20 leaders last met in November in Washington, DC, 17 of their countries have restricted trade. Some have raised tariffs, as Russia did on second-hand cars and India did on steel. Citing safety, China has banned imports of Irish pork and Italian brandy.
Across the world, there has been a surge in actions against “dumping”—the sale of exports, supposedly at a loss, in order to undermine the competition. Governments everywhere are favouring locally made goods” The Economist.com.
So, now are we driving without wheels in the shade of globalization? and let’s discuss on this…
Why China banned imports of Italian Brandy and Irish Pork?
