He highlighted the company's dedication to fostering strong relationships with the communities of Meemu Atoll. 'We are deeply thankful to the councils for the support they have shown to our team,' he said.
'It is our commitment to reciprocate this kindness by working closely with the communities in the atoll, providing opportunities, and strengthening our collaboration. Under our CSR responsibility, we aim to forge stronger relationships between the group, the resort, and the islands of Meemu Atoll”.
