The programme was shown as part of MMPRC’s global campaign with CNN, conducted from September 2021 till the end of December 2021. The purpose of this campaign is to further promote Maldives as the ideal and safe travel destination that caters to the needs and wants of travellers in the era of the new normal. It will focus on providing information on the stringent measures that are in place at our tourism products which includes resorts, hotels, guesthouses and liveaboards. It will also promote the geographically scattered islands which provide natural social distancing for travellers and promote the experiences unique to Maldives. CNN is also marketing the destination via digital platforms through ads and banners as part of the global campaign.
The campaign with CNN is conducted in alignment with MMPRC’s global marketing strategies, which is focused on sustaining the tourism sector, through partnerships and joint campaigns conducted with international stakeholders. Annually webinars, marketing and digital and social media campaigns, are held as part of these partnerships, aimed at providing the latest information about the destination to travel trade and travellers across the globe.
