ITB China has officially announced Maldives as the Official Partner Destination of ITB China 2024. This event will be hosted from 27th to 29th May in Shanghai. The partnership aims to attract more Chinese tourists and puts the unique island destination in the spotlight of China’s outbound travel market.

The Maldives has always been a popular destination among Chinese travellers. Although there has been a decline in Chinese tourist arrivals during the pandemic, it appears that tourism is going back to normal as destinations overcome the harsh COVID-19 boundaries that were set in place. Not only is the Maldives popular for its natural beauty and pristine beaches, but the country is also popular for its amazing hospitality. This year, the Maldives will be showcasing its offerings in ITB China’s largest national pavilion. This includes more than 40 travel companies as co-exhibitors during the three-day B2B event.
