Nasheed informed the LAM representatives of policies concerning liveaboard tourism in the MDP manifesto (Dhivehi) and pledged efforts by the government to strengthen and grow the local boat building industry.
The former president also met employees of safari vessels and discussed their concerns with worker’s rights.
