impact of tourism
positive
As a result of the income from tourism, gross national income - GNI per capita - in the Maldives is increasing. As much as 11% of the Maldives' population is employed in the tourism industry. Tourism generates around $600 million a year and makes up around 90% of the government's income from tax. This additional money has led to many improvements in the country. Advances in healthcare means that life expectancy has now reached 78 years
negative
Foreign companies own many of the resorts, which means that a lot of money leaves the country. Some resorts are owned by Maldivian people and this has created a big divide between the richest and the poorest people in the country. Enrolment in education is decreasing and the country still has high levels of debt.
