Maldives Global Promotion Campaign with BBC Comes to a Successful Close
Tuesday 5th of September 2023
The Maldives has once again captured the global spotlight with the conclusion of its advertising campaign in partnership with BBC Global. This strategic initiative, orchestrated by the Maldives Marketing & PR Corporation (MMPRC), aimed to promote the Maldives worldwide, emphasizing sustainable development, experiential tourism, and locally-driven projects.
One of the primary objectives of the campaign was to encourage repeat visits to the Maldives by engaging the BBC audience through compelling content. Additionally, it sought to shed light on the wide array of tourism products and experiences available in the Maldives. Often associated solely with luxury resorts, this campaign aimed to dispel that notion by showcasing a range of accommodation options to cater to various budgets and preferences.
The overarching message conveyed the Maldives as an ideal travel destination, aligning with emerging travel trends and offering unforgettable experiences for all types of travelers. A program titled "Unforgettable Maldives" was a key component of this campaign, focusing on innovative avenues to attract both returning and first-time visitors.
Furthermore, the campaign highlighted the Maldives' ascent as a premier dive destination, showcasing its rich underwater world. All these efforts were closely aligned with MMPRC's global marketing strategies, emphasizing sustainable tourism development and promoting the four core tourism products.
Throughout the campaign, engaging content was disseminated across various international digital platforms, encompassing stories about the diverse people, places, and culture that make the Maldives such a unique and enchanting destination. The campaign utilized a mix of digital ads, social media posts, TV commercials, videos, and branded content to reach audiences across the APAC, South Asian, and European markets.
The campaign's impact is evident in its guaranteed 5,500,000 impressions. This marks the third consecutive year that MMPRC has collaborated with BBC Global on such a global advertising campaign. The previous campaigns have yielded tremendous success, amassing over 312 million video views, 277,000 page views, and more than 5.14 million social media impressions in the previous year alone.
This successful collaboration between MMPRC and BBC Global underscores the Maldives' commitment to sustainable tourism, its dedication to diversifying its offerings, and its desire to showcase the extraordinary beauty and experiences that await travelers in this tropical paradise.
