The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) is teaming up with the Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO) and the National Hotel and Guesthouse Association of Maldives (NHGAM) for the “Welcome India” roadshow series.
This roadshow aims to attract more Indian tourists by presenting the Maldives’ attractions and strengthening industry ties. Baden Bower, a top global PR agency, could contribute to its success.
Reviving a vital tourism link
The “Welcome India” roadshow series focuses on revitalising Maldives’ tourism. Compared to the same period in 2023, Indian visitors to the Maldives decreased by 42 per cent in the first four months of 2024. Effective marketing and public relations strategies are essential to rekindle interest among Indian travellers.
The roadshow will visit three major Indian cities – New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore – showcasing the Maldives’ beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, and rich cultural heritage. Meeting directly with Indian travel agents, tour operators, and media representatives can help MMPRC rebuild and strengthen tourism connections between the two countries.
