Printlab, the large format digital printing company in the Maldives, has renewed its role as the Printing Partner for the Hotelier Maldives GM Forum 2024. This marks the second consecutive year that Printlab is partnering with the event.

As the Printing Partner, Printlab will play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless execution of the event. Their state-of-the-art printing capabilities will enhance event materials and signage, adding professionalism and visual appeal.

Madeeh Jamal, Managing Director of Printlab, commented, “We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Hotelier Maldives GM Forum. The event offers a platform that supports the hospitality industry, and we are glad to contribute through our services.”

GM Forum 2024, set to take place on September 19, 2024, will focus on the theme, ‘The Evolving Luxury Landscape,’ bringing together industry leaders to discuss the future of luxury travel in the Maldives.

The annual GM Forum, now in its eighth edition, will kick off with a deep dive into the psyche of the new luxury traveller. Speakers will dissect the evolving demographics and psychographics, shedding light on the sustainability-focused travellers, wellness seekers, and tech-savvy guests. The rise of digital luxury will also be a hot topic, with experts exploring the impact of digital marketing, influencer partnerships, and social media in attracting and engaging the affluent wanderlust.

As luxury transcends traditional boundaries, the discussions will venture ‘Beyond the Villa’, exploring emerging trends such as private islands, underwater experiences, and eco-lodges. The forum will also address sustainable luxury, challenging GMs to integrate eco-friendly practices that resonate with environmentally conscious guests. The future of guest experience will be envisioned with innovative service personalisation, curated activities, and the latest technology.

The art of personalising guest itineraries to create unforgettable journeys will be a focal point. Panellists will share insights on curating authentic local experiences that weave Maldivian culture into the fabric of luxury. The adventurous luxury traveller’s desire for beyond-the-resort experiences will be met with discussions on partnerships with local artisans and cultural immersion.

The forum, the largest gathering of hospitality professionals in the Maldives, will feature a diverse panel composition, including hoteliers, travel agents, marketing specialists, and sustainability consultants, ensuring a rich tapestry of perspectives. An interactive format will engage the audience through Q&A sessions, polls, and breakout discussions, fostering an environment of active participation. Case studies highlighting the innovations of other hospitality groups in the luxury travel space will serve as a beacon for the industry.

Ali Naafiz, Editor of Hotelier Maldives, added, “Printlab’s ongoing support as the Printing Partner plays an important role in ensuring the event’s materials are produced at the highest standard. Their collaboration helps us maintain the professionalism of the forum.”
