If paradise were half as nice ...
Article Abstract:
The Maldives offer particular attractions for people who are interested in snorkelling and diving. There are wonderful reefs with many different brightly coloured tropical fish, and the waters are warm, shallow and safe. The Maldivian government takes great care to ensure that tourism does not damage the environment or the local social structure, and the number of visitors to resort islands is strictly limited. Indeed, tourists need special government dispensation to visit most of the around 200 islands that make up the Maldives.
