The Maldives is one of the most exquisite holiday destinations in the world. A mere postcard would tell you exactly why; the beauty you witness on just a shoreline is beyond comparison. The endless expanse of water surrounding each of the over 1,000 islands make the nation of Maldives perfectly sparkle under the blazing sun and the white powdery sands that border these waters give you a feeling of serene bliss. One look around and you will feel nature so perfectly protected in this destination. Unspoiled and untouched by the harshness of industrialization, the beauty of this island is perfectly intact.
Ecotourism has seeped into the hotel culture where care is taken to conserve energy, recycle and prevent the use of plastic. Even the décor is on par with Maldivian tradition to promote the typical Maldivian lifestyle and craft. The many Maldives Villas found at Kuramathi Island Resort Maldives also has an excellent traditional and natural appeal and is well worth considering when looking for holiday accommodation.
In addition to the stretches of gorgeous white sanded beaches, Maldives is blessed with a colourful underwater world and coral gardens. It is these very treasures that attract planeloads of tourists to these shores every year. In fact the entire existence of the Maldives is dependent on its tourism industry and the tourism is dependent on these natural treasures. But there is a price to pay for this beauty, for the many wonders in Maldives has a very fragile existence.
Recklessness and carelessness with these wonders can destroy these treasures in no time. In addition to this, Maldives has other concerns to promote ecotourism. Maldives itself is in fact the lowest lying country in the world and could be consumed by rising ocean levels if care is not exercised to protect the delicate balance of the ecosystem that exists here.
Celebrate the nation’s treasures but while you admire them make sure you protect them. The Maldivian government has intervened in hotel development and tourism to ensure that its flora and fauna are well protected. 30 dive spots in the area have been declared marine protected areas to ensure that its underwater world remains undisturbed.
