It's 2023. There's no gold opportunity laying somewhere not picked up. If this project is in this state there's a very very good reason why no one has picked up yet.
@@kreutzere it's likely just a legal matter. Just hypothesising, but if the politician has financed the construction with embezzled money it could be just a matter of returning those 2 years worth of construction material. In other abandoned projects state laws only required backlog of owed taxes to be paid to allow the property to be sold. Opportunity lurks everywere even in 2023 but my guess is that there are laws in place that regulate a minimal investment amount for a property like this and coupled with the amount of cleaning up necessary as well as the remoteness one would need a good amount of capital to turn this around, on the tune of 12 to 16 million US$.
Good shots and topic Kale. Strays away form your normal content but I LOVE it. You have a lot of travel experience. I suggest you do one of these interesting geographical videos anytime you travel 😎
This is the resort which was to have been named J Resort Raalhuveli. Strangely, it still appears on a number of travel websites as if it actually opened. There is another abandoned resort North East of Ayada on an island named Lonudhuahuttaa which is even more derelict than the resort that Kale visited.
Anything left abandoned, neglected will look the same. Unfinished projects, vehicles left out to rust in the open. Background and location is still amazing..
They were probably convinced the oceans were going to rise, the Maldives were going to be imminently under water and their investment was a write off. Twelve years later and the only part that’s real is their investment is a right off, but for all the wrong reasons. What a terrible shame for tourism, the local economy, the local community and the environment that’s now coping with the rotting waste of lost opportunity.
In recent times an average of three inhabited islands in the Maldives have been abandoned each year due to the combination of rising sea levels and coral bleaching - as the dead reefs disintegrate they no longer stop large swells and storms from eroding the islands. Unfortunately many governments, corporations and a great many individual citizens around the world are ignorant that the future has arrived or just carry on as either gleeful or reluctant hedonists because they are simply content to be the lucky ones (for now!).
Political reasons 😂 While the Maldives is a relatively good place to surf, it is a horrific country in terms of corruption and human rights. To be honest, having been to Pasta Point several times, it is boring as hell for your other half with its one dimensional landscape and nothing to do other than go in the sea or read a book. There are many, many better places to visit.
