Dear MEL Topic Readers,  

This vacation hotspot is offering vaccinations to visitors

The Maldives is a small archipelagic country that lies southwest of Sri Lanka and India. It consists of nearly 1,200 islands in 26 atolls for now. As the average ground-level elevation of 1.5 meters above sea level, Maldives is famous as the world’s lowest-lying and most threatened country by rising sea levels. Because of the beautiful ocean view and beach properties, the archipelago country with a population of just over a half-million received 1.7 million visitors a year before the pandemic. Now, in order to revive the nation’s most vital tourism industry, Maldives is planning to promote a “3V” tourism scheme, which includes Visit, Vaccination, and Vacation. Upon arrival, tourists are offered vaccinations for them to be and feel free from Covid-19 during and after their stay in the Maldives. Since tourists to the Maldives usually stay in different islands, the nation claims that social distancing is naturally much broader than other tourist destinations. Indeed, safety seems to be what allures tourists during and after the pandemic. This vaxication package will only become available after all the residents have gotten vaccinated. Can vaxication be also used for workcation?

Enjoy reading the article and learn about a new tourism initiative by a tiny archipelagic nation.
