Authorities to conduct security seminar for resorts

Tourism authorities in the Maldives are holding a seminar this week to help resort improve security measures, after several recent robbery attempts.

The seminar will be held in conjunction with police, the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF), and the Maldives Association for Tourism Industry (MATI), reports Haveeru.

Last week a group of men wearing masks attempted to rob Baros Island Resort and Spa, one of whom died during the attempt.

A group of men also robbed the safe of Kihaadhuffaru resort in Baa Atoll, using cable-ties to restrain the receptionist.
