Perth hosted the first ever Maldives Australian Roadshow on Monday night at the InterContinental Hotel, with Maldives Marketing and PR Corporation (MMPRC), the government body responsible for the promotion of Maldives as a tourist destination, welcoming travel and trade representatives over cocktails and canapes.
The fully subscribed roadshow is the seventh event as part of the “Journey to the Sunny Side” campaign, and continues tonight in Melbourne, finishing in Sydney on Friday 27 September.
“The local travel trade is incredibly important in helping us package and promote the four products of the Maldives which are resorts, guesthouses, liveaboards and hotels to Australian audiences. The Roadshow is designed to provide travel agents and advisors, tour operators, DMCs, and travel wholesalers with the tools they need to sell our tourism offering, and answer any questions they may have about the country face-to- face,” said MMPRC Managing Director, Thoyyib Mohamed.
Along with product immersion, guests enjoyed presentations by senior executives from MMPRC and the chance to network with Maldivian resorts, marketing teams and tour groups including:
- Villa Hotels & Resorts

- Maldives Getaways
- Travel Connection Maldives
- Voyages Maldives
- Crown & Champa Resorts
