NOVEMBER 2022: The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC / Visit Maldives) will be exhibiting at WTM London 2022 with the largest-ever delegation to come to the UK. The tourism board and their partners will celebrate the Jubilee Year of Tourism, with 160 representatives from 80 industry partners, in a 420sqm stand space. The UK market is currently the 3rd top source market for the Maldives with more than 133,000 visitors, with a 10,9-market share.

In 50 years, an industry that started with two small resorts merely trying to learn how to cater to foreigners has now developed into an industry with billions with over 170 resorts registered by 2022, and new resorts being developed with each passing year.
