JLF Soneva Fushi has unveiled the list of speakers for its 2023 edition, bringing an inspired line-up of acclaimed authors, celebrated thinkers and cultural leaders from around the world to the Maldives’ Baa Atoll, from May 12-21, 2023.
“JLF Soneva Fushi’s remarkable program is an opportunity to reconnect with the pure joy of literature and the arts,” says Sonu Shivdasani, CEO and Co-Founder of Soneva. “The exceptional setting of our barefoot island in the Maldives, coupled with our contributors and guests staying with us for at least a weekend makes JLF Soneva Fushi, unlike any other literature festival. It’s this greater, intimate access to authors, deeper understanding, new friendships and stronger bonds that make this festival so unique.”
With 20 world-renowned authors now confirmed, the JLF Soneva Fushi 2023 program is set to cover a spectrum of topics, ranging from nation-building to the natural world; fiction and filmmaking to hard-hitting journalism; astronomy to geopolitics; mental health to poetry; and scientific discovery to memoir.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
