Managing Director of Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) Thayyib Mohamed has highlighted the importance of maintaining the quality of services provided by the guest houses to further enhance the tourism sector.
Speaking at the panel discussion of Guesthouse Symposium 2018, Managing Director Thayyib stated it is important to maintain the quality of services when efforts are exerted to widely promote Maldives internationally. Thayyib noted if the quality of the services are not maintained, the negative impact will affect the whole economy of Maldives. He further assured the cooperation of government authorities to ensure quality services are provided at the business entities.
The guesthouse concept to develop local tourism in Maldives was introduced during the presidency of Mohamed Nasheed. So far, over 500 guesthouses are operated in Maldives.
