Visit Maldives Corporation (VMC) is participating in International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Cannes 2025, the world’s most prestigious and influential luxury travel trade show, held from 1–4 December 2025 in Cannes, France.
This year’s participation stands as one of VMC’s biggest milestones, reinforcing the Maldives’ position as the leading ultra-luxury destination and showcasing the country’s sharpened strategy to attract the world’s most affluent travellers. VMC has placed strong emphasis on revenue-driven luxury tourism as a core priority for 2026, shifting focus from surface arrivals to high-value, high-yield markets.
At ILTM Cannes, the Maldives stand highlights the country’s signature elements of barefoot luxury, including private islands, overwater villas, wellness sanctuaries, world-class dining, and unparalleled hospitality. Delegates from top Maldivian properties are representing the destination with VMC and many others on their own.
As 2025 draws to a close, the Maldives continues to enjoy global recognition, with VMC’s luxury-focused initiatives expected to accelerate high-value arrivals and revenue growth in 2026.
