<img alt="Tourism" src="/userfiles/images/tb1%20(Copy).jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;width: 200px; height: 125px;" />The Maldives has reached its target of welcoming one million visitor arrivals in 2013. According to official data released by the Maldivian government this week, the Indian Ocean archipelago welcomed 1,000,203 international visitors in the year to 24 November 2013. The news will come as a boost to the country where significant political unrest in recent years has threatened to destabilise its vital tourism sector. In 2012, the Maldives fell short of its one million arrivals target, welcoming just 958,000 visitors. The country’s Tourism Minister, Ahmed Adheeb, said that a higher target will be now be set for 2014, although no specific figure was given. Tourism accounts for 70% of the Maldives’ GDP.

Speaking at the recently concluded Indian Culinary Forum held in New Delhi, Tharoor said there is rich diversity of foods available in the country and the varied regional cuisine should be better exposed among international and domestic tourists. The summit looked at offering cuisine experiences and visits to farms and kitchen, so that visitors can experience the diversity and authentic cuisine of the country. Anil Bhandari, chairman of Smart Solutions said, “In the growing food industry, only 30% was in the organised sector, while 70% in the unorganised sector. Brand identity and consistency are important.” Chef Davindar Kumar, president of Indian Culinary Forum opined that culinary tourism would offer a unique and memorable experience but maintaining authenticity is important. The conference discussed diverse range of subjects ranging from standardisation, recipes, research and education. (Traveldailymedia.com)</div>

<img alt="Tourism" src="/userfiles/images/tb1%20(Copy).jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;width: 200px; height: 125px;" />The Maldives has reached its target of welcoming one million visitor arrivals in 2013. According to official data released by the Maldivian government this week, the Indian Ocean archipelago welcomed 1,000,203 international visitors in the year to 24 November 2013.

In 2012, the Maldives fell short of its one million arrivals target, welcoming just 958,000 visitors. The country’s Tourism Minister, Ahmed Adheeb, said that a higher target will be now be set for 2014, although no specific figure was given. Tourism accounts for 70% of the Maldives’ GDP.

India’s Minister of State for Human Resource Development Dr Shashi Tharoor has called for steps to promote culinary tourism in India. Speaking at the recently concluded Indian Culinary Forum held in New Delhi, Tharoor said there is rich diversity of foods available in the country and the varied regional cuisine should be better exposed among international and domestic tourists. The summit looked at offering cuisine experiences and visits to farms and kitchen, so that visitors can experience the diversity and authentic cuisine of the country. Anil Bhandari, chairman of Smart Solutions said, “In the growing food industry, only 30% was in the organised sector, while 70% in the unorganised sector. Brand identity and consistency are important.” Chef Davindar Kumar, president of Indian Culinary Forum opined that culinary tourism would offer a unique and memorable experience but maintaining authenticity is important. The conference discussed diverse range of subjects ranging from standardisation, recipes, research and education. (Traveldailymedia.com)
Maldives Hits one Million Tourists
The Maldives has reached its target of welcoming one million visitor arrivals in 2013. According to official data released by the Maldivian government this week, the Indian Ocean archipelago welcomed 1,000,203 international visitors in the year to 24 November 2013. The news will come as a boost to the country where significant political unrest in recent years has threatened to destabilise its vital tourism sector. In 2012, the Maldives fell short of its one million arrivals target, welcoming just 958,000 visitors. The country’s Tourism Minister, Ahmed Adheeb, said that a higher target will be now be set for 2014, although no specific figure was given. Tourism accounts for 70% of the Maldives’ GDP.

Speaking at the recently concluded Indian Culinary Forum held in New Delhi, Tharoor said there is rich diversity of foods available in the country and the varied regional cuisine should be better exposed among international and domestic tourists. The summit looked at offering cuisine experiences and visits to farms and kitchen, so that visitors can experience the diversity and authentic cuisine of the country. Anil Bhandari, chairman of Smart Solutions said, “In the growing food industry, only 30% was in the organised sector, while 70% in the unorganised sector. Brand identity and consistency are important.” Chef Davindar Kumar, president of Indian Culinary Forum opined that culinary tourism would offer a unique and memorable experience but maintaining authenticity is important.

<img alt="Tourism" src="/userfiles/images/tb1%20(Copy).jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;width: 200px; height: 125px;" />The Maldives has reached its target of welcoming one million visitor arrivals in 2013. According to official data released by the Maldivian government this week, the Indian Ocean archipelago welcomed 1,000,203 international visitors in the year to 24 November 2013. The news will come as a boost to the country where significant political unrest in recent years has threatened to destabilise its vital tourism sector. In 2012, the Maldives fell short of its one million arrivals target, welcoming just 958,000 visitors. The country’s Tourism Minister, Ahmed Adheeb, said that a higher target will be now be set for 2014, although no specific figure was given. Tourism accounts for 70% of the Maldives’ GDP.

India’s Minister of State for Human Resource Development Dr Shashi Tharoor has called for steps to promote culinary tourism in India. Speaking at the recently concluded Indian Culinary Forum held in New Delhi, Tharoor said there is rich diversity of foods available in the country and the varied regional cuisine should be better exposed among international and domestic tourists. The summit looked at offering cuisine experiences and visits to farms and kitchen, so that visitors can experience the diversity and authentic cuisine of the country. Anil Bhandari, chairman of Smart Solutions said, “In the growing food industry, only 30% was in the organised sector, while 70% in the unorganised sector. Brand identity and consistency are important.” Chef Davindar Kumar, president of Indian Culinary Forum opined that culinary tourism would offer a unique and memorable experience but maintaining authenticity is important. The conference discussed diverse range of subjects ranging from standardisation, recipes, research and education. (Traveldailymedia.com).jpg)
The Maldives has reached its target of welcoming one million visitor arrivals in 2013. According to official data released by the Maldivian government this week, the Indian Ocean archipelago welcomed 1,000,203 international visitors in the year to 24 November 2013. The news will come as a boost to the country where significant political unrest in recent years has threatened to destabilise its vital tourism sector. In 2012, the Maldives fell short of its one million arrivals target, welcoming just 958,000 visitors. The country’s Tourism Minister, Ahmed Adheeb, said that a higher target will be now be set for 2014, although no specific figure was given. Tourism accounts for 70% of the Maldives’ GDP.
