Maldivian

On the plane it seems that the water lilies on the surface of the sea, shimmering dark blue, turquoise and emerald green ... None of the 1,192 coral islands of the Maldives archipelago, which does not rise more than 3 meters above sea level. Longest Island - 8 miles. The smallest - 80 meters. On it lived 450 people, mostly fishermen.


But two centuries ago, the Maldives, a tropical paradise of the Indian Ocean could disappear from the face of the earth. Three hundred thousand people of this pearl of the south-east of India is still threatened by global warming. As predicted by some experts, if nothing is done to prevent this trend, sea level will continue to rise by 2-3 mm, and can, and 5-10 mm per year.



It may also have a vague awareness of the vulnerability of the Maldives contributes to the fact that the number of tourists is increasing day by day. Now, two years after the tsunami, the male optimism reigns. In December 2005 the tourism sector was in limbo, but in the first trimester of 2006 tourism began to develop with surprising speed.



Despite the fact that the tragedy of 26 December 2004 referred to the Maldives is less than that of Indonesia, Thailand or Sri Lanka (110 victims against hundreds of thousands of victims in neighboring countries), its implications for the archipelago have been severe. In 2005, the number of tourists to the islands was reduced by 39%. For a country that lives almost exclusively from the revenues from tourism, it was a serious blow. But gradually the "tsunami effect" faded away. Tourists from Britain, Germany, France and Italy returned. All resorts are open again, with the exception of four or five in the process of renovation.




The consequences of another disaster - the El Nino that occurred in 1998, just gradually disappear. Was it a natural disaster or it was provoked by a man? The opinions of scholars are divided. Whatever it was, a sharp increase in water temperature affected all countries in the equatorial belt. Water temperature averaged 30 degrees and rose to 31-32 degrees, allegedly because of lack of currents, and remained at this level for several weeks. As a result, corals have lost their nutrient algae and lost color. Until now, you can see where some of the fields whitened corals on the ocean floor, looking like a pile of bones.



Gradually the underwater life to normal, though with varying success depending on the reef. "Some corals grow to 8 cm per year" - Barbara De Angeli rejoices, a marine biologist, a temporary teaching tourists basic rules protecting the underwater environment in one of the tourist complexes. This same expert confirms that the fish are not affected by El Nino. Moreover, their colors became brighter than before. At a depth of less than 5 meters you can see, almost in disbelief, ballet, clown-fish, fish, parrots, turtles, sharks, rays and other underwater inhabitants. Maldives really deserve the reputation of paradise for divers.

Archipelago remains to determine its future policy. Authorities vary, choosing between elite hotels five star hotels and three stars, which are so insistently demanding European tour operators. The official acknowledged to the development of affordable for most "middle management". Actually, the priority remains more profitable for investors, luxury ...



Lightning fast acceleration



Tourism development, slowly started in 1970, now has gained lightning speed. Until recently, only ninety small islands were used for tourist facilities on the principle of "one island, one hotel. In 2005, eleven new islands came to the tourist market. In 2006 they were joined by another 35 islands, they are in the process of improvement. In the next five years, to tourists, mainly from Europe, will be invited to another 7000 places for recreation.



Maldives became a fashionable trend, and probably a long time. In recent years, a new niche - spa-resorts. Recreation, combined with the care of the body, already exceeds the demand for recreation. From now on, to meet growing demand, the smallest resort offers of massages, beauty treatments for face and body, meditation sessions, gym, aerobics and so on. Asian technique (Balinese, Indian and other massages) are combined with classical European techniques.



Perhaps this is the secret of success? Leaving the Maldives, each promised myself to come back, come what may. And, as statistics show, most of the tourists keep their word. But this success is the flip side, and the Maldivian authorities have to overcome the accumulated problems. One of them - is transportation. Getting to the hotel to the male without transfer of any European capital, most often have a charter flight. "We lack direct scheduled flights. Many of our clients are willing to buy good seats in business class, but they simply can not find them ", - complains leadership Islands hotels.



Another problem - it wastes. In the archipelago there is no garbage service. Each hotel complex should have its own system of burning garbage and dispose of wastes at sea only after their complete incineration. In reality, not all resorts are following this rule costly. Many of them neglected and throw trash in the sea, as it is done at no tourist islands, inhabited by indigenous people of the Maldives.



And, finally, lack of trained personnel severely hinders tourism development of the archipelago. "The next summer I open three new resort. My main concern - is to find suitable staff. Maldivian law requires us to employ not less than 51% of the local population from the total number of our employees. But we can not gain so much "- to worry the director of one of the tourist complexes. For it is the most important problem, which should solve the authorities in the near future.
