This month, leading international news channel, CNN, put the spotlight on the green initiatives that have been integrated as part of luxury tourism in the Maldives. This was portrayed on a special 30-minute programme named “The Journey Matters” that aired at different times on the 9th and 10th of October 2022; it focused on sustainable measures being adopted at private island resorts.

The lowest-lying country in the world, the Maldives is one of the destinations that are vulnerable to climate change-related effects and tourism plays a key role in sustainability. Travellers looking for accommodation at beach villas in Maldives can also look to stay at a Green Globe-certified resort that has eco-friendly initiatives in place. This includes properties like OBLU NATURE Helengeli which has a saltwater desalination plant as well as a water bottling plant utilising glass bottles; it additionally features an efficient waste management system and an in-house water treatment process to reuse wastewater for gardening and irrigation.
