Fuvahmulah Digital Tourism & Local Business Platform
Proposal code: afunAdo-2026-04-11
A centralized digital platform to promote local businesses, tourism services, and improve visitor experience — with development already underway and open for community input.Fuvahmulah has strong potential for tourism and local business growth, but there is currently no centralized system that connects visitors with local services, experiences, and businesses. I propose creating a digital platform (mobile app or integrated system) that allows visitors and residents to easily discover restaurants, guesthouses, activities, transport options, and local services in one place. This platform can also support features such as online ordering, bookings, navigation, and business listings. This would benefit: • Tourists, by improving their overall experience and accessibility to services • Local businesses, by increasing visibility and sales opportunities • The community, by supporting sustainable economic growth While this platform can begin with a strong focus on Fuvahmulah, it also has the potential to scale to other islands in the future. Starting locally allows for testing, improvement, and refinement, while creating a model that could later benefit other islands across the Maldives. Development of this idea is already underway, and I believe this is a great opportunity to align it with the city’s long-term vision. If anyone has suggestions, ideas, or improvements, feel free to share — collaboration will only make this stronger.

Don't have defined milestones
This is a good idea and I support the concept. One suggestion would be to consider whether these features could be integrated into the existing AfunCity app instead of creating a separate platform. AfunCity already provides city services, maps, public facilities and other useful information, so expanding it to include tourism and local business features could create a single official platform for both residents and visitors.
It could include verified local businesses, accommodation, restaurants, activities, transport, events and nature attractions while also promoting responsible tourism and Fuvahmulah's unique natural environment. Building on an existing platform may also reduce duplication, improve user adoption and make long-term maintenance easier.
Wishing you all the best with the project.
