Hotelier Maldives GM Forum 2020; now open for Sponsorship!

The fifth edition of the Hotelier Maldives General Managers’ Forum is now open for sponsorship. Scheduled to take place on 2nd April 2020 at Crossroads Maldives, the event will feature keynote speeches, presentations and panel discussions on a range of topics including sustainable tourism and human capital; two issues posing considerable challenges to the industry. 

Previous editions of the GM Forum has included tourism pioneers and industry experts as speakers and panelists. With the Maldives’ tourism industry nearing 50 years, recent years have seen unprecedented developments taking place in the industry. Some of these include the development of resorts on reclaimed lagoons, increased use of technology in managing guest experiences, introduction of local island tourism, etc, posing new questions about the sustainability and viability of some projects. While the Maldives has always struggled to source the necessary skills locally, the issue of adequate human resources necessary to run effective hotel operations cannot be understated and is now of paramount importance with the projected pipeline that is expected to see Maldives’ bed capacity double in the next five years.
