Noonu Atoll Entrusts Business & Attraction Registry to Jazeera Hospitality

Noonu Atoll is taking a significant step toward bolstering its local economy by assigning the creation of a Business & Attraction Registry to Jazeera Hospitality Maldives. This project not only promises to enhance atoll development, but also establishes a model for inclusive and economic growth for the atoll.

The Business & Attraction Registry project is an initiative by Noonu Atoll Administration. By documenting and showcasing businesses, attractions, artists, experiences, and service providers operating across the atoll, the project aims to spotlight the region’s vibrant economic and cultural landscape. From large enterprises to small-scale local outlets, and from popular tourist attractions to hidden gems, the registry seeks to include all voices in the region's economic narrative.

This initiative is expected to pave the way for increased visibility of local businesses, new investment opportunities, and enhanced tourism experiences—key drivers for sustainable economic growth. More importantly, it represents a collaborative effort to empower SMEs, facilitate business networking, and create a reliable database to support strategic planning by stakeholders.

Delivering Value Through Collaboration

The success of this project isn’t solely credited to Jazeera Hospitality Maldives. It’s also a result of a strong, collaborative relationship with the Noonu Atoll Island Councils. Island Councils share a clear vision, with Noonu Atoll Administration actively supporting the project by providing essential information, timely feedback, and resources as needed. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to elevating local businesses and attractions to their full potential.

By working together, they are laying the groundwork for a thriving economic ecosystem in Noonu Atoll—one that benefits stakeholders on every level, from local artists to international visitors.

This registry is more than a project; it’s a catalyst for transformation. Once completed, it will open doors to new opportunities for local enterprises by improving their reach and visibility, especially in the tourism sector. Visitors will gain access to a curated, dynamic guide to all that Noonu Atoll has to offer, meaning broader recognition and a heightened profile for the region. At its heart, this initiative represents a dedication to sustainable growth, inclusivity, and innovation. This is not just about business or tourism—it’s about building a legacy, a model for fostering economic empowerment while celebrating the unique charm and resilience of local communities.
