Three claps to the Maldives as the country’s angelic white, soft powdery sand-filled beaches get yet another significant recognition in the international world. Thousands from around the Middle East cast their votes for the World Traveller Readers’ Awards Middle East 2021 awards and may we say, this award was just meant to be! Say hello to the winner of the Best International Beach Destination 2021 ‘by a distance greater than the length of one of its islands’ as quoted by World Traveler Awards – the Maldives.
Selecting the cream of the crop in each category, World Traveler Readers cast their votes for the dreamiest and pristine beaches, azure waters, and palm-fringed atolls, the Maldives couldn’t help but furnish the perfect fantasy. While being safely enclosed in your own private cocoon, you can succumb to the charm of Mother Nature on the shores of Maldivian islands.
It goes without saying that the destination is winning hearts over as a traveler's favorite, even among the unprecedented times of a global pandemic. Amidst all the concerns around traveling abroad, Maldives has proven to be a worthy destination for spending money and time on a well-deserved getaway. And for that matter, this accolade makes it a ‘World’s Best’!
The Maldives is one of the first countries in the world that braved reopening the borders to international travelers in mid-2020. Stringent safety measures at every touchpoint were an added advantage over the archipelago’s naturally social-distanced islands where the concept of one-island-one-resort further enhances safety into plenty of isolation and privacy.
In order to ensure that travelers feel ever safe, Allied Inbound was launched, a travel insurance package by Allied Insurance Company in association with the Ministry of Tourism. Furthermore, since the Maldives is known to be a repeater-favorite, the world’s first tier-based travel loyalty program was also rolled out - Maldives Border Miles program, by Maldives Immigration.
