Trump hotel to be established in the Maldives View(s):The Maldives, one of the most luxurious destinations in the world, is surging ahead with new resort openings – in the next few years – including one from US President Donald Trump’s company, while it aims to reach all price points, not only the luxury segment. Abdulla Ghiyas, chairman of the official Visit Maldives, said that guesthouse tourism, which taps the middle-to-lower income market, is growing in a big way. Planned for opening in 2026, DarGlobal, the London-listed luxury real estate developer, and The Trump Organization, now run by Trump’s children, last month launched Trump International Hotel Maldives, the brand’s first property in the Maldives, and the launch of the world’s first tokenised hotel development tied to the project. New campaigns and roadshows helped to boost arrivals and revenue,” he said in an interview. Another new development is the construction of hospitals alongside resorts as the Maldives hopes to focus on medical tourism.
