Ministry of Tourism has open bidding for developing Ha. Medhafushi and Sh. Nalandhoo for tourism (resort).

According to the announcement by the Tourism Ministry, interested parties to develop these two islands for tourism are requested attend information session to be held virtually at 2300hrs on August 30, 2023, and to submit bids on September 21, 2023, at 1000hrs.

Moreover, bid books for the project will be available from 0900hrs to 1300hrs on weekdays from August 22 to September 20.

Furthermore, Sh. Nalandhoo was leased for agriculture purposes 22 years ago. However, the island was being used for cultivation of sea cucumbers. Therefore, islands from the Shaviyani Atoll are not making a reasonable profit from leasing the island. Also, compare to other atolls, Shaviyani Atoll does not have much of tourism and to expand tourism in the atoll is a target according government. In addition, Ha. Medhafushi was also open to investment at the 2021 Dubai Expo.
