Maldives Police Launch Safety Campaign for Tourists During Makaraai and Heelathun Season

In response to the increasing tourist influx during the Makaraai and Heelathun seasons, the Maldives Police Service, in collaboration with the Tourism Police, has initiated a comprehensive safety awareness program. The campaign aims to educate tourists on precautions to take and how to stay safe during these festivals, which often see heightened activities. Guesthouses and resorts in Hulhumalé have been briefed on their roles in ensuring visitor safety, particularly in managing large crowds and preventing incidents. The program also focuses on enhancing the overall tourist experience by providing information on payment-related issues and ensuring smooth interactions with local authorities. Additionally, public beaches and popular tourist spots have been identified for increased vigilance to prevent mishaps. This initiative underscores the Maldives' commitment to maintaining its reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for travelers.
