Facts The Maldives - Transportation - Communication Male' the Capital City - Transportation O ne can find anything between a one-man canoe and a container cargo vessel on the sea depending on where one decides to go in the Maldives. However, when one has to make a decision as to what the star performers are and what the attention-grabbers are on the seas, there are a few honorable mentions. Powerboats of varying designs and sizes have become almost a new culture in the Maldives, especially with the advent of a serious tourism industry in the country. In a country where the international airport is on an island all by itself, and where all the tourist resorts are on .separate islands, the speedboat has come into its own in a manner that is purely Maldivian, In addition, the speedboat performs well in its more conventional roles in recreational activities like pleasure cruising and water skiing. When the windsurfer first arrived in the Maldives, some daring young persons began using it as a means of getting around. After a few hair-raising incidents, this highly unconventional practice was banned -a fact that the new visitor must remember, for the temptation is ever so strong. Though now restricted to tamer seas within the house reefs of individual islands, the windsurfer was made famous throughout the country because of this.

Thematic maps General summary Asia Geography, climate and population The total area of the region is about 20.4 million km², which is 15 percent of the total land area of the world (Table 1). China and India together represent about 63 percent of this area. The population of Asia is predominantly rural: about 67 percent of the total, compared to 54 percent for the world as a whole. This percentage rises to 70 percent if Japan and the Republic of Korea are excluded (the two countries where industry predominates and the rural population is only 21 percent). This reflects the importance of agriculture in countries where the contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP is almost 30 percent, and where the percentage of the economically active population engaged in agriculture is about 62 percent. The population density in the Asian countries was estimated in 1996 at 149 inhabitants/km², compared to an average of 43 inhabitants/km² for the world as a whole. The highest population densities are in Maldives and Bangladesh with 878 and 834 inhabitants/km² respectively, while the lowest densities are in Mongolia and Papua New Guinea with 2 and 10 inhabitants/km² respectively. Indian subcontinent The sub-region experiences a tropical monsoon climate, with significant seasonal variations in rainfall and temperature. About 80 percent of the total precipitation occurs during the monsoon period. The climatic year includes two monsoon periods: the southwest monsoon (June to September) concentrating most of the rainfall, and the northeast monsoon (November to March), relatively light compared to the southwest monsoon. The highest temperatures are registered during the dry season (generally from March to May) with 43
