In a strategic move towards bolstering local development and harnessing the untapped potential of Kulhudhuffushi, Regional Airport (RACL) has entered into a groundbreaking agreement with Haa Dhaal atoll Kulhudhuffushi Council. The pact aims to transform the vacant land adjacent to the mangrove area in the north of Kulhudhuffushi Airport into a thriving tourism zone.
Under the agreement, RACL takes on the responsibility of not only developing the designated area but also providing the essential funding required to turn the vision into reality. The initiative is poised to bring multifaceted benefits to the island, touching the lives of its residents and elevating Kulhudhuffushi's presence in the global tourism market.
The primary objectives of the project include leveraging the vacant land for the collective welfare of the island's inhabitants. Additionally, the development is expected to enhance the global visibility of Kulhudhuffushi City, local guesthouses, and businesses, positioning them as prominent players in the international tourism landscape.
By creating a tourism hub, RACL envisions an increase in flight movements, driving economic progress for the island. The ripple effect of this endeavor is anticipated to generate more job opportunities, thereby contributing to the overall prosperity of Kulhudhuffushi.
Ahmed Mubeen, the Managing Director of RACL, has been instrumental in spearheading transformative projects since assuming the role. This latest collaboration underscores the company's commitment to catalyzing positive change and fostering sustainable growth across the Maldives.
RACL, known for operating seven airports across the country, continues to play a pivotal role in the nation's infrastructure development. The agreement with Kulhudhuffushi Council marks a significant stride towards realizing the full potential of Kulhudhuffushi, blending progress with environmental considerations and community well-being.
