After several prestigious wins at various big award events this year, the Maldives has once again stood out, this time at the sixth annual Travel Weekly Asia Readers' Choice Awards 2020 as the Best Island Destination - Asia Pacific. The award was presented during the virtual award ceremony held on 11th December 2020.

The Travel Weekly Asia Readers’ Choice Awards 2020 recognizes outstanding travel suppliers in Asia Pacific, who set new benchmarks for the future of the tourism industry. Winners were assessed by industry professionals on their overall excellence, professionalism, industry initiatives, and efforts in their area of expertise in the past year.

“Receiving such an award during these unprecedented times, when the tourism industry is recovering and adjusting, will assure our visitors that Maldives is on top of the most preferred destinations to visit,” stated the Managing Director of Visit Maldives, Mr. Thoyyib Mohamed, proud of the many awards and accolades the destination grabbed this challenging year.

MMPRC has carried out various visibility campaigns in Asia Pacific. Some of the main arrival markets include China, India, Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia countries. These campaigns aim to encourage travellers to choose the Maldives as their next holiday destination once the outbound travel resumes once again while strengthening the current upward growth for open markets.
