The family started their journey to Maldives from Ukraine and traveled to Maldives from Qatar Airways , QR 672 via Dhoha. The Ukrainian Family is booked to stay in Maldives for 21 Days.

With the borders closed to the magnificent isles of paradise, Resort Life Travel is one of the companies which was effected drastically. With multiple cancellations and date changed from guests, Resort Life Travel ensured their requests and partners were communicated with a positive attitude of the on-going situation, when some online travel agencies were not able to help their guests.

The teams at the regional offices were busy planning post COVID-19 operations, new approaches and new strategies for the slow start of travel. Continuous communication, webinars, new offers and updates were pushed to agents and partners while working at home during the lock down.

Today, with a comprehensive safety guideline by the authorities of Maldives, about 35% of resorts have already opened their doors to guests and Resort Life Travel has been actively pushing new promotions to key markets.

I believe travel is an essential part of life, It will not stop, we have a lot of inquiries and expecting more bookings to Maldives. Right now, I think the most important part is that our guests are safe, hence we personally ensure that the resorts safe guideline policies are well implemented prior to our guest arrivals
