Moreover, they represent the industry internationally and locally by attending different seminars, organizing as well as providing research and offering professional consultation to governmental, private and international organizations.

The vision of MATI is to make Maldives the world leader in sustainable tourism and their mission is to continuously monitor the internal and external environment for the tourism sector within the industry by playing the role of a mediator as well as engaging actively by striving to minimize challenges and maximize opportunities.

MATI’s current main areas of focus are development and planning of tourism, quality and standards, education and training, environment and culture.
