MMPRC markets the Sunny Side of Life at MAKTA 2023

In an effort to introduce the Sunny Side of Life to the Nordic travel industry and customers, The Maldives Marketing & Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) will be attending the MAKTA Nordic Travel Fair 2023.

 Following a two-year absence, MMPRC returns to the fair with 13 Maldives-based business partners. From January 19 to 22, the event will take place at Messukeskus Helsinki Expo & Convention Center in Helsinki, Finland.

More than 1000 travel and tourism organizations and destinations from more than 80 different countries are anticipated to attend MAKTA, the largest travel fair in Northern Europe. The Maldives' brand exposure in the Nordic market will increase thanks to MMPRC's participation in this fair, which is expected to draw 68,000 visitors this year. It will also make it easier for business partners to network widely. The Maldivian tourism sector would be able to gain insightful knowledge regarding regional industry trends and patterns as a result.

At the MAKTA 2023, a striking Maldives display has been erected in an effort to showcase the attraction and beauty of the tranquil islands. The stand features welcoming and cosy seating for business-to-business interactions between industry partners and trade show attendees, as well as a conventional area for guests to relax in. Visitors can use unique Maldives-themed social media filters to post here, and they will also receive a calligraphy bookmark as a present. In addition, they can sample the numerous treats offered at the booth to learn more about the island country's cuisine.

A growingly popular and prospective market for the Maldives tourism business is the wealthy Nordic market. 30,393 tourists from the region visited the nation in 2022, and MMPRC carried out a number of marketing initiatives last year. In order to further enhance and deepen destination presence in this developing market, numerous additional actions are planned for this year, including campaigns with airlines, tour operators, and other suppliers in the travel sector.
