Saudi company studying feasibility of Sharia-compliant resort
Saudia Arabia’s Al Khozoma Management Company is conducting a feasibility study to develop a Sharia-compliant resort in the Maldives. Some 4,120 holidaymakers from the Middle East visited the Maldives this year, representing a market share of 3.7 percent. In January 2014, the ADK company in association with Turkish hotel giant Caprice Gold announced plans to build the first Islamic resort in the Maldives. The five-star, 673-room resort was to be built on Shaviyani Atoll Gaakoshibee. However, the two companies reportedly cancelled the agreement late last year.
