The Maldives contingent showed up to the first day of ITB Berlin 2023 in a big way! After a three-year hiatus, ITB Berlin, the world’s largest travel trade show, commenced today. The three-day convention is considered the travel industry’s leading think tank. Over 400 experts will share knowledge on the latest trends and challenges facing the tourism industry.
The Maldives contingent consists of 91 companies with 233 participants representing resorts, travel agencies, guesthouses, liveaboards and airlines.
