Conducting Webinars for Travel Trade in India

Maldives Marketing & Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) has carried out webinars across various markets as preparations for the recovery period, and India is one of the main markets where several sessions have been held for the Indian travel trade.

The purpose was to train potential travel agencies and tour operators who yield the maximum business and achieve a greater reach in the market. The webinars also aim to lead engagement in promoting the Maldives and answer destination FAQs over the course of the lockdown, according to MMPRC.

In January 2020, 13,846 tourists from India visited the Maldives. This was a 19% increase over January 2019. As a key source market, neighbouring India is likely to be amongst the first markets to welcome tourists from after the Maldives reopens its borders. The most likely time the island nation will reopen its borders and restart tourism is July-October.
