Modern Maldive Islands
In 1965 the Maldive Islands
became an independent nation. In 1968 the region was recognized as a republic.
Since the
Maldive Islands have become independent they have encouraged tourism. Tourism now accounts
for
10% of their gross national product. Windsurfing is a very popular sport on the Maldive
Islands.
