However, the two hundred thousandth of the population Maldivians have been just enough to occupy only 202 of them, the rest – are uninhabited. This fact, incidentally, allows local authorities to develop a mass foreign tourism in the officially proclaimed policy "Avoid cultural conflict." This means that tourists have about 70 uninhabited islands earlier, where they can relax as they wish, in accordance with their national and cultural characteristics and habits without disturbing or shocking the local population, which in these unique "tourist reservations," almost none (with the exception of a limited contingent of personnel). On the other hand, tourists no one can prevent, and to familiarize themselves with the native life of organized special trips to the "Aboriginal" islands (eg, visiting a fishing village), as well as the capital of Male. Still coming to the Maldives, to avoid the notorious "cultural conflict", it is necessary to know something. For example, fans of "bring (or rather, to bring) and drink" to keep in mind that they arrived in a Muslim country, where the importation of alcoholic beverages prohibited. Official site: Verizon. Consequently, all brought with them (never mind, vodka, wine or beer) will inevitably be taken away at the airport. I saw a pyramid of bottles seized by customs friendly Maldivian our countrymen. Friendliness does not interfere with customs to be quite adamant.

Exception, however, and it is limited – no more severe penalties for violators do not apply. Also taken away from you back at departure from the Maldives. Nevertheless total "prohibition" on the islands there. Otherwise, the Maldives would not come as tourists. There is even a drink can, but only in specially designated areas: in bars and restaurants located in the most "travel reservations." Here are just there to take away or sell, there are no shops where you can buy alcohol. Nor can we fail to note that alcohol in the Maldives is quite expensive, because all of it – imported. Of beer 0.33 liters (typically, Heineken and Lowenbrau) is worth $ 3-3.5 (U.S. dollars in the Maldives are taken freely, so that the currency should not be changed). Interestingly, the Maldivians themselves as devout Muslims is against the law to have even indirectly related to alcohol, for example, work bartenders. Therefore, most bartenders and waiters – the citizens of India or Sri Lanka.

Flights Are Available Now

Did you know that the first flights in 1914 came to the United States and cost $ 5 – a one-day earnings of American workers? For that amount of people carrying a small airplane across the bay 20 miles wide, cutting their way twice. Held out a couple of months, the venture went bankrupt. Germans seized the initiative in 1919 by organizing regular flights, which initially were also unprofitable, but because of the importance of the case the carrier received a grant from state. And the first airline to offer different levels of service, is considered to be Britain's Imperial Airways. In 1927, the passengers of "London – Paris" were the choice of first class tickets cost 9, second-class ticket – 7 pounds and does not include a steward.

Stewardesses in those days was not, the stewards helped passengers to climb and descend the ladder, and in-flight provided first aid. The largest passenger aircraft in those days was a Junkers 34 passenger. Part of the seats for passengers standing in the compartments in the wings with large side windows that give a panoramic view. Sitting in the cabin did not have such a review, and flights to these places cost less. The dramatic shift in cost of flight began in the late 1930s, when Pan American started to operate regular flights across the ocean.

A ticket for this flight was a few people can afford, but the same company pioneered the policy of mass air travel. Price reduction tickets almost doubled and the introduction of "tourist class" at first caused a boycott of the airline, but it soon became a tourist class on flights commonplace almost all companies. Now a passenger aircraft is part of ten most successful businesses of the XX century, surpassing in popularity the railroad. Comfort and accessibility of air travel has undergone fundamental progress. Cheap airline tickets can now be done from anywhere in the world, not leaving the house. Managers of the services will pave the route, given the transplant, the interface with other transport modes and your wishes about the cost of travel. Time to get rid of ordinary passengers from having to stand in line and pay exorbitant prices for exotic travel; everyone will find the appropriate rate and level of service.
