The Ministry of Tourism and Environment is a Maldivian ministry responsible for tourism and the environment of the Maldives.

History

The ministry was established after the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy was merged to form the Ministry of Tourism and Environment. [1]

The merger came with major backlash from the public as many viewed this as the government not caring about tourism. [2] It also sparked fear about potential collapse of environmental oversight in the country. [3]
