Maldives Fund Management Corporation’s Triumphant Presence at Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) World 2024, Dubai

Maldives Fund Management Corporation’s Triumphant Presence at Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) World 2024, Dubai

Dubai [UAE], October 7: The Maldives Fund Management Corporation (MFMC) participated in the prestigious Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) 2024, held in Dubai from September 30th to October 2nd. As a government-backed organization driving investment in the Maldives, MFMC represented the island nation by sharing insights into investment opportunities, sustainability initiatives, and the future of the Maldivian tourism industry.

MFMC, a key player in the economic landscape of the Maldives, has been entrusted with steering investment toward strategic sectors essential for the country’s sustainable growth. Its core focus areas include tourism, infrastructure, and renewable energy, sectors vital to supporting the Maldives’ national development goals. Through its investment efforts, MFMC aims to strengthen the economy while fostering long-term sustainability across these industries.

The Future Hospitality Summit, renowned for bringing together global leaders, policymakers, investors, and experts in hospitality, was a key platform for MFMC to highlight its initiatives. This year’s summit was centered around themes such as Real Estate Hotelisation, Sustainable Construction, and Technological Innovation, with a special emphasis on how these trends will shape the future of hospitality and global investment. These themes resonate with MFMC’s commitment to integrating sustainability and technology into its tourism development projects.

During the summit, MFMC took the opportunity to unveil several of its major tourism initiatives during a panel discussion titled ‘Building the Future: The Changing Face of Market and Investor Growth in the Maldives.’ Eezan Shahul Hameed, Chief Commercial Officer of MFMC, spoke on the panel alongside notable industry figures such as Amman Shah, Executive Director of Dubai Holdings Investment, Tony Miki, Partner at Foster and Partners, Majd Hamamouchi, Corporate Business Development Director of TIME Hotels. The panel examined the evolving market landscape and investor interest in the Maldives, with a special focus on MFMC’s role in shaping the future of the country’s tourism sector. Additionally, MFMC’s Managing Director, Ahmed Nazim, contributed to the event as a member of the advisory board for FHS, further solidifying the corporation’s involvement in the summit’s strategic discussions.

Beyond this session, MFMC actively participated in several other key discussions at FHS. ‘New Horizons Ahead: Trends and Developments in Tomorrow’s Designs,’ and ‘Branded Residences: A New Era in Real Estate Investment.’ These discussions provided MFMC with the opportunity to showcase its strategic vision for the Maldivian tourism industry, particularly in terms of leveraging emerging trends to drive sustainable growth and attract global investors.

A highlight of this year’s summit was the introduction of ‘Country Pavilions,’ a new feature designed to spotlight emerging hospitality projects and highlight investment opportunities in high-ROI ventures from different nations. As the official representative of the Maldives, MFMC used this platform to present some of its flagship tourism projects. Among them were the Gaafaru Integrated Tourism Development Project, Hankede Integrated Tourism Development Project, Addu Nature Park, and the Dhiyaneru Yacht Marina and Safari Harbour. These projects reflect MFMC’s ambition to diversify the Maldives’ tourism sector and drive the next phase of growth.

The Gaafaru Integrated Tourism Development Project, for instance, involves the creation of two luxury resorts and 14 private islands within the same lagoon. For the first time in the Maldives, these private islands will be available for sale to individual buyers under long-term lease agreements of up to 99 years. This unprecedented move will allow buyers to develop their own private homes on the islands. Additionally, MFMC will be offering a residency-by-investment program tied to the sale of these real estate properties, providing buyers with benefits such as multi-entry visas, fast-track services, and tax savings. MFMC also introduced the Hankede Integrated Tourism Development Project, located in the southernmost atoll of Addu. Set to begin in November 2024, this ambitious project will transform the region into a premier tourism destination. The development will feature an array of facilities, including grand and deluxe hotels, restaurants, water sports centers, and other attractions, all within a designated tourism zone. Upon completion, the zone will offer over 1,000 rooms (2,088 beds) and a real estate component, including serviced apartments, beach villas, and water villas available for purchase.

Another key project showcased was the Dhiyaneru Yacht Marina and Safari Harbour, which is designed to cater to the growing number of superyachts and safari vessels visiting the Maldives. Strategically located near Velana International Airport, just five minutes by speedboat, this development will feature a state-of- the-art mooring and berthing harbor, a yacht club, hotels, and restaurants, enhancing the Maldives’ appeal as a top destination for high-end travelers.

Last month, President of the Maldives, Dr Mohamed Muizzu, announced the government’s plans to roll out a residency-by-investment program, designed to attract foreign capital and create new investment opportunities in the country. This initiative is seen as a pivotal move for the Maldives, aligning its investment strategy with global destinations like Dubai that have successfully evolved into business-driven hubs. The Maldives Fund Management Corporation (MFMC) aims to utilize this program to boost investor interest in its real estate components of the projects currently undertaken by the corporation, further elevating the attractiveness of its current developments.

MFMC’s participation in the Future Hospitality Summit 2024 was met with keen interest from industry leaders, investors, and policymakers. The corporation’s pavilion attracted significant attention, and MFMC is optimistic that the connections made at the summit will lead to fruitful collaborations and investments in the Maldives’ tourism future. Through its pioneering efforts, MFMC continues to play a pivotal role in transforming the tourism landscape of the Maldives and driving sustainable economic development in the country.

VIHTRIBEZ: The Fusion of Creativity and Commercial Success

VIHTRIBEZ: The Fusion of Creativity and Commercial Success

Finding the balance between creativity and commercial success can be elusive in a world where content is king. Enter VIHTRIBEZ, a community founded by two dynamic individuals, Mithyll Dave and P. Swarnalata, who have combined their years of experience and passion to create a unique space for creators and entrepreneurs.

VIHTRIBEZ isn’t just another business or creative community; it’s a thriving ecosystem where storytelling and content creation are elevated into a powerful tool for brand building and revenue generation. What sets VIHTRIBEZ apart is how it marries the art of creativity with the science of commercial viability, creating a harmonious balance between the two.

The Visionaries Behind VIHTRIBEZ

Mithyll Dave, a seasoned content strategist, podcast wizard, and solopreneur coach, has been helping creators and entrepreneurs find their voice and monetize their passions. His partner in this journey, P. Swarnalata, is an accomplished writer, author, and the founder of Dastan Media. This storytelling hub helps businesses and professionals build their brand stories through different storytelling formats. Together, they have formed VIHTRIBEZ, a community that caters to creators who want to tell their stories and achieve sustainable success.

“VIHTRIBEZ was born out of our passion for creating content and our experience of generating revenue and brand value through content,” shares Mithyll. His expertise in content marketing and solopreneur coaching allows him to guide community members in producing content that isn’t just engaging but also profitable. Mithyll’s skill set goes beyond content creation—he provides a roadmap for those looking to turn their ideas into a business.

Swarnalata, on the other hand, believes that “we are all unique stories in motion that are waiting to be told.” As a storyteller, she brings a distinctive narrative flair to the community, ensuring that every member’s personal and professional stories resonate with their audience. “What we do at VIHTRIBEZ is help our community members find that voice, personal or professional,” she explains. Her ability to weave storytelling techniques into content creation makes her the perfect counterpart to Mithyll’s more commercial approach.

Creativity Meets Commercial Strategy

What makes VIHTRIBEZ truly unique is the complementary expertise of its founders. If Mithyll is the architect of content strategy and monetization, Swarnalata is the storyteller who adds heart and depth to the narrative. Together, they form the two sides of the content marketing coin, each adding immense value to the other.

Balancing creativity with commercial goals is essential for businesses and individuals looking to scale their brand. “People often see storytelling as a purely creative endeavour, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a business tool, and we help our members understand how to harness it for real-world success,” says Swarnalata. Mithyll echoes this sentiment, adding, “Great content isn’t enough. It needs to be packaged and marketed to generate revenue, and that’s what we teach at VIHTRIBEZ.”

Building a Thriving Community

At its core, VIHTRIBEZ is more than just a platform for creators—it’s a community. Mithyll and Swarnalata are committed to fostering an environment where members support each other, collaborate, and grow together. Whether someone is just starting out or already has a foothold in the industry, the community offers resources, mentorship, and a network that makes the content creation journey smoother and more rewarding.

The founders are already hard at work building this community into a thriving hub full of storytellers, content creators, and entrepreneurs. With their combined expertise and shared vision, VIHTRIBEZ aims to become the go-to space for anyone looking to grow both creatively and commercially.

The Future of VIHTRIBEZ

As VIHTRIBEZ continues to grow, the possibilities seem endless. Mithyll and Swarnalata have big plans for the community’s future, with more workshops, events, and mentorship opportunities on the horizon. Their goal is simple: to build a space where creators can tell their stories, grow their brands, and achieve financial success—without sacrificing creativity.

In a world where content is increasingly commodified, VIHTRIBEZ offers a refreshing take on the business of storytelling.

The duo invites creators, entrepreneurs, and storytellers to join them on this journey and become a part of the ever-evolving VIHTRIBEZ, where creativity and commercial success walk hand in hand.

Major Boost to India’s Web3 Sector: Crewsphere Launches Web3 Sankalp Tour Across Major Cities

New Delhi [India], October 1: In a significant move to bolster India’s growing Web3 ecosystem, ICP India Hub Crewsphere has launched the highly anticipated Web3 Sankalp Tour 2024. Set to take place across six of the country’s most prominent cities–Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, and Chennai–the tour promises to be a game-changer in democratizing Web 3.0 education and fostering innovation among the next generation of developers.

As India cements its position as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, Crewsphere’s initiative offers a timely and much-needed boost to the country’s Web3 sector. The Web3 Sankalp Tour is designed to bridge the knowledge gap that still exists for many students and aspiring developers, particularly those outside major metropolitan areas. By bringing intensive, hands-on blockchain training to different regions, Crewsphere aims to equip participants with practical skills in Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) development, one of the most advanced blockchain technologies available today.

This tour is not just another event on the Web3 calendar; it’s a strategic initiative aimed at empowering students and young professionals across India to become key players in the Web3 space. As Crewsphere co-founder Bandhul Bansal explains, “The Web3 Sankalp Tour is our commitment to making Web3 education accessible to all. We believe that innovation in this sector should not be limited to a few tech hubs but spread across the country to create a more inclusive and collaborative ecosystem.”

The tour will feature in-depth workshops and bootcamps, providing participants with a hands-on understanding of Internet Computer Protocol technology. These sessions are designed to move beyond theory and give students a concrete understanding of how Web3 can be applied in real-world scenarios. From decentralized finance to supply chain solutions, the focus will be on helping participants not just learn but also innovate, using the power of Web3.

Deepak Goyal, co-founder of Crewsphere, emphasized the practical nature of the tour. “Our goal is to empower students with the tools they need to thrive in the decentralized tech landscape. The Web3 Sankalp Tour is about giving participants real-world skills that will help them not only understand blockchain but also apply it in meaningful ways,” he said.

The Web3 Sankalp Tour is expected to play a crucial role in expanding India’s Web3 capabilities, especially as the country’s crypto adoption continues to soar. While India is already recognized as a leader in Web3, thanks to a strong grassroots movement, initiatives like the Web3 Sankalp Tour are essential to sustaining and accelerating this growth. By investing in the education of future Web3 developers, Crewsphere is helping ensure that India remains at the forefront of global Web3 innovation.

Mobius Foundation and Environment Law & Development Foundation host impactful panel on climate liability and justice

New Delhi [India], October 1: The Mobius Foundation, in collaboration with the Environment Law & Development Foundation, successfully convened a significant panel discussion titled “Climate Liability, Justice, and Jurisprudence” on September 27, 2024, at Travancore House, New Delhi. The event addressed the urgent need for accountability and robust legal frameworks in response to escalating climate crises worldwide.

The esteemed panel featured prominent speakers, including:

  • HMJ Hima Kohli, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India (Chief Guest).
  • Dr Afroz Ahmad, Expert Member, National Green Tribunal (Guest of Honour).
  • Chandra Bhushan, President & CEO, International Forum for Environment, Sustainability and Technology (Special Guest).
  • Sanjay Upadhyay, Senior Advocate and Honorary Managing Trustee, ELD Foundation.
  • Praveen Garg, IAS (Retd.), Former Special Secretary, MoEF&CC and President, Mobius Foundation.

The panel was expertly moderated by Jatinder Jay Cheema, a Projects, Energy, and Natural Resources lawyer.

Key Discussion Highlights:

The panel critically examined the intersections of climate change liability and legal frameworks, focusing on the following key themes:

1. Climate Liability: Exploring accountability mechanisms for governments, NGOs, corporations, and individuals in the Indian context.

2. Climate Justice: Discussing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable and marginalized communities.

3. Evolving Jurisprudence: Reviewing landmark cases and innovative judicial approaches in climate litigation within the Indian legal system.

Speaker Insights:

HMJ Hima Kohli emphasized the urgency of addressing climate change, stating, “The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and the loss of biodiversity underscore the crisis we face. It is imperative that we, as a society, recognize the multifaceted nature of this challenge. The solutions must integrate legal and political frameworks alongside scientific advancements, ensuring that every stakeholder is held accountable for their role in combating climate change.”

Dr Afroz Ahmad highlighted the staggering impact of fly ash, stating, “Globally, around 800 million tons of fly ash are generated, with India contributing approximately 180 million tons. This not only poses environmental hazards but also highlights the pressing need for stringent regulatory measures and innovative solutions. We must focus on sustainable practices that not only mitigate this waste but also harness its potential in a manner that benefits society.”

Chandra Bhushan stressed the need to navigate the complex relationship between environmental conservation and community displacement. He remarked, “The pursuit of sustainability often leads to conflicts, particularly for marginalized communities. We must recognize that our environmental policies must be inclusive, addressing the rights and needs of those who are most affected. True sustainability requires a holistic approach that balances ecological preservation with social justice.”

Sanjay Upadhyay called for the integration of climate liability into Indian law, advocating for a comprehensive legal framework grounded in sound principles. He stated, “We need to approach climate liability with a sense of urgency and responsibility. It is crucial that our legal frameworks reflect the realities of climate change, ensuring justice for those affected. An overarching law is essential, and it must be informed by both legal expertise and practical considerations, ensuring that we are prepared for future challenges.”

Praveen Garg said, we should strive to build a future wherein no community bears a disproportionate burden of the climate crisis, the future where the dignity and rights of all people are protected and where we live in harmony with ecosystems which sustain us.

The approach should be to have an overarching but well-thought-out law on climate change. There is a need to shift of population that is sitting on small agricultural land holdings, which can be brought about by quality education and skill development in emerging sectors.

In conclusion, the Mobius Foundation and the Environment Law & Development Foundation invited all stakeholders to continue engaging in discussions around climate liability and justice, emphasizing the importance of youth involvement in this critical dialogue.
