Held in Shanghai from May 27 to 29, this premier travel trade show serves as a critical platform for the Maldives to boost its tourism economy by tapping into the lucrative Chinese market.
The Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) is leading a delegation of tourism stakeholders, including representatives from luxury resorts, guesthouses, travel agents, and tour operators.

Interactive displays, virtual reality tours, and one-on-one meetings with tourism representatives are part of the strategy to provide a comprehensive understanding of what the Maldives has to offer.
A key focus of the Maldives’ promotion at ITB China is its diverse range of accommodation options. While the country is famous for its high-end resorts and overwater villas, it also offers budget-friendly guesthouses and boutique hotels, catering to a wide spectrum of travelers. This inclusivity aims to appeal to Chinese tourists from various economic backgrounds, ensuring that the Maldives remains an accessible dream destination.
