<p>After 11 years, the Maldives has a new slogan and logo. It took more than year to design and many individuals in the tourism and fishing industries, as well as the general public, took part in the decision making process. The MMPRC Chairperson Thoyyib Mohamed said the slogan and logo were designed around the Maldives natural beauty because most of the country&#8217;s tourists name the natural beauty as one of the reasons for visiting.</p>
<p>The Maldives two biggest sectors are tourism and fishing, which is why they were the inspiration for the new slogan and logo. The slogan is &#8220;Maldives-Always Natural&#8221; and the text is colored blue fading into the green thumbprint logo of naturally occurring wildlife and plants in the Maldives.</p>

<p>The Maldives are an exotic and amazing vacation destination and usually visited by the elite and upper crust. However, just because some people choose to pay list price for their <a href="http://www.mymaldives.com">Maldives vacation</a> doesn&#8217;t mean you have to! There are actually many ways you can find affordable Maldives accommodations and vacations. Consider the following tips when you are planning your vacation and you just might find you are able to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars.</p>
<h3>Low Season</h3>
<p>The Maldives are beautiful all year round, but if you travel during the so-called low season you will be able to get better rates on resorts and on flights. Usually low season is considered May through November.</p>
<h3>Travel Websites</h3>
<p>Many travel websites offer package deals where travelers can get a package deal on their resort, airfare, car rental, and more. Many times it is worthwhile to check these travel websites to see if you can get a better deal than paying for each service a la carte.</p>
<h3>Groupon Vacations</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.groupon.com">Groupon</a> has started offering Groupon vacations, which are discounted vacations worldwide. You can&#8217;t find a Maldives Groupon vacation at the drop of a hat, but if you want to travel to the Maldives, have a flexible schedule, and see a Maldives Groupon you should snatch it up!</p>
