| Maldives Hotel Discounts |
 |
The Maldives is not blessed with much land, but is blessed with the bountiful and beautiful sea. Interestingly, only 1 percent
of its territory consists of land, therefore, tourism and fishing are the main sources of income for the Maldives. With tourism
as a major industry, accommodation including discount hotels and resorts are abundant on the scattered atolls. Each resort
is located on a self-sufficient island with its own power source, desalination plants, diving facilities, waste disposal systems,
etc. The archipelago which makes up the Maldives is made up of small low-laying coral reefs; some of which extends a few
meters above the water line forming crystal-clear lagoons and acting as barriers against strong waves. Out of the 1190 coral
islands, 200 islands are inhabited while 87 islands were developed into resorts. Some famous destinations in the Maldives
include Male Atoll, the capital city of the Maldives Islands, and Ari Atoll. The surrounding reef also serves as habitat for
thousands of tropical marine sea species and contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem. |
