It was first built in the early 1990s for tourism purposes. In the late 1990s came the spas.
The rough island of Hudhuveli was transformed into Soneva Gili, the first edition of Adrian Neville’s guidebook, Resorts of Maldives, describes it as “a small, laid-back resort with the advantage of being close to the airport. In truth, it doesn’t have many other advantages” . In fact, the whole idea behind it was to build some of the world’s best water bungalows.
The water bungalow, now the overwater villa, reached its peak on Gili Lankanfushi Island resort, formerly Soneva Gili. The “destination spa” (you travel specifically to and for it) has been achieved by Conrad, Taj Exotica and Cocoa Island. In addition, the island was improved by dismantling walls, broadening the beach and planting trees, shrubs and gardens (not to mention the chocolate, cheese, charcuterie and wine cellar).
Political turmoil, with Islamist hard-liners trying to ban spas and alcohol, was a problem, but looking at the economical aspect this is unlikely to have an impact on continuing innovation of this

When I stepped foot onto Aruba’s beaches they were breathtaking. With its bright white sands and crystal clear water, it felt like I was in a postcard picture. The sands felt like walking on a cloud. The water was crystal, and the fishes were glistening from the sunlight. The weather is splendid. Each day was a cloudless 80+ degree weather. Aruba's known for their nice beaches for it is on most, if not all travel guides. You can see the whole island from the top of a lighthouse. The sunset is marvelous from that view. If you glance the horizon line from the beaches, you can see Venezuela. The sunrise was like orange, bubblegum, and blue raspberry sherbert. As I scanned the jewelry store, the gems were alluring. The restaurants come
Walking along the nature trail on the island that is surrounded by beautiful green plants and palm trees I came across stingray cove, a place where you can swim with the stingrays. Enjoying the sights of the stingrays I spot a colossal starfish by a rock in the water. I came across the lagoon that I could have ridden jet skis in or kayaked, but couldn’t get to close due to the plants and rocks. Making my way back towards the beach I watch as people ride horses in the water. Starting to smell something great I realized that it was time for a bohemian meal. While enjoying a delicious meal, a band was playing some relaxing reggae. Quickly my time at Half Moon Cay came to an end, I was not ready to leave the tropical paradise. I cannot wait to take another cruise just to come back and relax. Half Moon Cay also known as Little San Salvador Island with only 2 percent of the island begin developed, is an international bird sanctuary and natural preserve. With that being said the only way to visit is by cruise ship. Whether just wanting to relax on the beautiful beach, explore the island, or do excursions like snorkeling Half Moon Cay, Bahamas is a place I look forward to visiting
Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful places anyone could experience. Zanzibar is an island off the coast of Tanzania.

The tourist industry has changed by a large amount, over the past few years due to the change in peoples’ life style and the change in the economy. Now that people earn much more money than in the past people can afford to spend more money on leisure. People now have the benefits of a paid holiday which leads to a lot of tourism as the individual gets his/her holiday money from their work place.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to travel to the one of the memorable places in the world: Maui, Hawaii. The scene that struck me the most there was Honolua Bay. It was filled with sights of crystal, clear, aquamarine water. I could hear the sounds of crashing waves, and smell the scent of fresh air. I could feel the wind constantly blowing through my hair. While visiting Honolua Bay, there were numerous things that brought happiness to my mind; such as the spectacular sounds, extravagant smells, unique taste, sensational feelings, and most of all the breathtaking scenery of blue skies.
Water, and particularly new water, is a standout amongst the most basic regular assets. Tourism builds request in water both for the individual utilization of voyagers and for the support of greenery enclosures and different offices (e.g. swimming pools, fairways, water parks). The normal utilization of water is 450 liters for each visitor in lavish inns and around 280 liters in many others lodgings (Kokkosis and Tsartas, 2001:149). Still, the more prominent misuse of water originates from the fairway upkeep. The yearly utilization of water for golf compares to the utilization of a city of 12,000 tenants (Tourism Concern, 2006). The shortage of water assets frequently makes competitions between the tourism business and neighborhood populaces. Pumping of ground water turns out to be then important. Be that as it may, this practice undermines the groundwater table, what influences the general advancement of the locale. The case of ocean side visitor resorts in Goa, India is illustrative. In these resorts there is round-the-clock water supply. Be that as it may, the providing pump goes through neighboring towns, which are denied water supply, notwithstanding for one to two hours a day. Subsequently, local people need to cover numerous miles under the hot sun to draw water from the current wells, which are not very many in
Undoubtedly there are multiple areas where developing a picnic island can politically be influenced. As Maldives is a democratic country, terms of election are held every 5 yearly. With change in government terms, its policies and funding bodies will be changed. We should be concerned about how the newly elected legislators are going to support this concept of a picnic island. To successfully nail the idea we would probably need a lot of funding, initiatives and grants from the government and other supporting bodies to make it as successful as possible. Also, Maldives now being quite a famous tourism landmark throughout the world, a lot of industrial parties are interested in developing other sorts of tourist
