The Maldives has seen a steady increase in tourist arrivals from Southeast Asia over the years, making it a viable market with excellent airline connectivity. In 2019, the Maldives welcomed a total of 87,636 tourists from Southeast Asia.

Despite the travel restrictions, MMPRC is promoting the destination in the Southeast Asian market to ensure that the Maldives remains a top-of-mind destination for travelers and that the Maldives is the most preferred destination for Southeast Asian travelers once borders are reopened for leisure travel and restrictions are lifted.

On December 9th, Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation, MMPRC (Visit Maldives) participated in a virtual event hosted by AirAsia Thailand to commemorate the return of AirAsia flights from Thailand to the Maldives. The event gave MMPRC the opportunity to highlight the country’s most recent travel guidelines, direct airline connectivity to Thailand, and AirAsia's ticket promotions.

CEO and Managing Director of MMPRC, Thoyyib Mohamed spoke to the Thai trade community about the Maldives, while Pacific World Travel, PR appointed for the SEA Market, provided a destination presentation on the Maldives in Thai. Expressing his gratitude towards the course, Thoyyib welcomes travelers to Maldives!
