The national airline of Maldives, Maldivian, has decided to reduce prices for Free Independent Travelers (FIT) to support local tourism.

Maldivian said today that FIT prices will be reduced by an average of 15 percent to support local tourism.

Maldivian stated that the FIT price reduction is aimed at making domestic travel more affordable, encouraging tourism, and providing significant economic benefits to Maldivian communities living in different parts of the country and the tourism industry.

The FIT price reduction will be applicable for travels from today until November, Maldivian said.

Maldivian's Managing Director Ibrahim Iyas said that this initiative will provide additional value to travelers as a result of efforts to promote local tourism.

To support local tourism, Maldivian also offers special corporate rates for local tourism businesses, including resorts and guesthouses. For information about corporate rates, Maldivian encourages contacting [email protected].
