The largest tourism travel fair held in the Maldives, Travel Trade Maldives (TTM) has successfully concluded the first day of pre-scheduled meetings. More than 100 hoteliers are exhibiting at TTM 2018, including Adaaran Resorts, Villa Hotels and Resorts, Bandos Maldives, Angiri Resorts and Crown and Champa Resorts as premium exhibitors, according to the organizer, Maldives Getaways.
Maldives Getaways said the first day of the exhibition successfully concluded with business contracts being discussed between hoteliers and visiting agents. The pre-scheduled meetings will be held for three days this year, unlike the previous editions of the exhibition. The organiser said both exhibitors and visitors were pleased with the outcome of the first day of TTM 2018. The exhibition hall was packed within the four hours of pre-scheduled meetings, with a full house seen all throughout the first day.
TTM gave participants a platform where industry professionals are provided with the opportunity to meet and interact with globally renowned travel agents and tour operates and allows them to grow their businesses within one of the most lucrative and leading travel destinations in the world. The organiser noted many travel agents were newcomers to the Maldives and were pleased to have had the opportunity to visit the island destination and have had the opportunity to meet with the leading hoteliers in the industry in one setting.
TTM is an amalgamation of several components and features a brand-new component, targeted solely towards the suppliers industry, Maldives Supplier Expo. This is the very first expo of its kind, where several key decision makers from the resorts will have the opportunity to network with leading suppliers, locally as well as internationally.
In addition, TTM will be hosting the gala night dinner at Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi, allowing a more relaxed setting outside of the normal corporate offices where industry professionals will be able to network and share the experiences with other professionals.
