The Ministry of Tourism has announced plans to develop Addu Island in Hankede City as an integrated tourist resort.
The announcement was made today as part of efforts to boost tourism investment across the Maldives. The Ministry said adding Addu Island to the lease list will open new opportunities for investors and promote regional growth.
Officials aim to attract both local and foreign investors, with plans to build a sustainable resort that supports jobs and community development.
This move aligns with the government’s broader tourism expansion plan, which focuses on developing more islands and lagoons nationwide. The Ministry said these projects will strengthen the Maldives’ position as a global luxury destination and ensure long-term economic growth.
