A three-month digital and print advertising campaign has been launched with German lifestyle magazine Falstaff.

“The campaign also promotes individual tourism products of the Maldives – resorts, guesthouses, hotels and liveaboards,” according to the MMPRC. “The campaign aligns with our strategy to maintain destination presence in this region and to efficiently promote various segments of tourism. This strategy aims to assist the destination to increase future bookings and arrival figures from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.”
