At the invitation of ISTHIA and Villa College, Prof. François Vellas, President of AIUTA, participated in the 9th Asia-Euro International Conference in Malé, Maldives, and presented a paper on resilience in the tourism sector and the development of senior tourism in connection with Universities of the Third Age. The President of AIUTA was received by Rector Dr. Ahmed Anwar and presented AIUTA’s international activities and lifelong learning initiatives. The Maldives, where the population aged over 60 already exceeds 30%, still does not have a University of the Third Age. Villa College, now the leading private higher education institution in the Maldives, will undertake initiatives in cooperation with AIUTA to introduce courses and educational programs for seniors and will participate in the AIUTA INSULA program for the development of Universities of the Third Age and senior tourism on islands.
