Cora Cora Maldives’ Sales & Marketing to be Led by Vishen Mootoo

Tuesday 9th of March 2021

Born and raised in Mauritius, Vishen Mootoo is no newbie in to the hospitality industry. He has worked in multiple countries for over 15 years, being a part of island hotels and resorts. This combined with his fluency in several languages – English, French, German and Mauritian Creole – has given him unique insights into the cultures that are all potential markets to the newly opening Cora Cora Maldives on Maamigili Island this October.

Vishen has joined the resort team as Director of Sales and Marketing and is already feeling like he is home. “As an Indian Ocean native, it’s like I’m coming to work with my neighbour, which makes this renovation and rebranding project feel very personal and important to me.” he said.

Vishen is known in the industry for his clarity of vision, proactive working style, and friendly attitude. In the many years Vishen has worked in the Maldives, he has contributed to famed brands and establishments such as Sun Siyam Resorts, VARU by Atmosphere, Tour East Holdings by JTB, The Small Maldives Island Co (Amilla Fushi & Finolhu) and Centara Hotels and Resorts.

Collectively, this has added to his knowledge of pre-opening experience, helping ensure swift commercial success for new properties. And with such a strong global and regional network, he is well-placed to bring the best talent and expertise to the project and oversees the rebrand.

“Although the basic structure remains the same, everything else has changed. The concept is much more fun, light and colourful than the previous resort, he explained. “We chose the new name – Cora Cora Maldives – to reflect both the friendliness of the resort and our spectacular, well-preserved house coral reef, easily accessed by swimming from the beach.”

Thrilled to be a part of the project, Vishen looks forward to reconnecting with all of our colleagues in the industry, from tour operators and travel agents to destination management companies.

Cora Cora Maldives is eager to welcome you to its shores soon.
