Visit Maldives Corporation has partnered with Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) to arrange a special welcome at Velana International Airport for a 1,000-member corporate offsite group from India, organized by India’s leading travel platform Pickyourtrail. This major MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) visit reaffirms the Maldives’ growing reputation as a preferred destination for corporate and group travel from one of the country’s most important source markets.
The group, comprising top performers and employees, was hosted at Sun Siyam Olhuveli from 10 to 21 July 2025. The group was greeted with a traditional Maldivian Boduberu performance, curated welcome gifts, and personal greetings from the Visit Maldives Corporation team. The first VIPs arrived on 11 July, with arrivals continuing through 13 July.
This large-scale corporate offsite visit showcased the Maldives’ ability to accommodate and cater to high-profile MICE travel, underscoring the country’s appeal among Indian corporate travellers seeking premium experiences.
Pickyourtrail is widely recognised in the Indian market for its innovative, tech-driven approach to customised travel planning. Their decision to bring such a large delegation to the Maldives reflects the strong trust and interest Indian travelers have in the destination. The visit also complements ongoing efforts by Visit Maldives Corporation to enhance destination visibility in India through a series of strategic marketing initiatives.
India remains one of the top source markets for the Maldives, and Visit Maldives Corporation continues to strengthen ties with the Indian travel trade to further position the Maldives as a top-of-mind destination for all travel segments. In addition to this collaboration with Pickyourtrail, Visit Maldives Corporation is currently conducting destination promotion campaigns with leading Indian travel brands such as Make My Trip and TBO. A high-impact celebrity endorsement campaign featuring Bollywood star Katrina Kaif as Visit Maldives’ Global Ambassador is also underway.
