The arrival of the first tourist’s occurred in 1972. At that time there were just two resorts with a capacity of about 280 beds. At present, there are over 132 resorts located in the different atolls constituting the Republic of Maldives. A tourist resort typically consists of an exclusive hotel on its own island, with its population entirely made up of tourists and workforce. These islands are typically 800 by 200 metres in size.
