Question

What industry does the Maldives depend on?

Answer 1

The Maldives depends primarily on tourism as its main industry. The country's economy is heavily reliant on visitors attracted by its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and luxury resorts. Tourism contributes significantly to the national income, employment, and foreign exchange earnings. In addition to tourism, the Maldives also relies on fishing, particularly tuna fishing, as another important sector of its economy. While agriculture exists, it plays a much smaller role compared to tourism and fishing.
