IWTA speaks with Ruth Franklin
Co-Founder of Secret Paradise Maldives
Background:
On her travels, Ruth fell in love with Maldives as a destination and revisited 3 months a year over a period of time, where she would immerse herself in the local communities and follow her passion for diving.
These visits led to a business idea of a tour company aiming at Responsible Travel and allowing visitors to see and experience the real Maldives. Fast forward 12 years later, Secret Paradise has been a success with plenty of awards under it’s belt.
Ruth believes in staying true to oneself, being considerate and curious and love what you do.
