The Maldives was featured at the exhibition with a 60sqm stand “designed and tailored to portray the uniqueness of the destination using eye-catching photos of the beautiful destination,” the MMPRC said.

Some 26 industry professionals from 15 companies represented the Maldives.

An estimated average of 3,000 unique individuals visited the Maldivian stall during the three-day fair. “In addition, the Visit Maldives Year 2016 campaign was promoted in surplus advertising options such as, billboards, pillar wraps, lanyard design and show carry bags,” the tourism promotion agency said.
