Last Minute Bookings – MALDIVES




The Maldives has been a friendly destination to the markets that are last-minute travelers. Example most Asian and Middle Eastern travelers inquire prior but mostly book last minute.

In the past few months, I have personally had the greatest difficulty getting availability for last minute bookings for the Maldives. This is a great turn of even for resorts in the Maldives having a great turn over in terms of occupancy.

The last-minute markets will have to slowly change their trends and adapt now to the destination. For the next two, three months already availability is a problem and resorts are sold out.

Destination number wise great news!!!!

Markets that book last minute have to be educated by us as the trend of Maldives is evolving especially this year 2019.

Last minute bookings, please push your clients to book prior to secure their bookings.

The Maldives is a bucket list travel goal, overturn to educate our clients and business partners.

These are my thoughts, what about you?

Mankiwwa




Mankiwwa the Social Change application of Sri Lanka. If you have not heard of Mankiwwa as a Sri Lankan you should. It's a mobile application that you can lodge complaints and social services. This is made for citizen empowerment to report anything from a roadside water leak, illegal garbage dumping, taking it all the way to a roadside accident or a robbery.




Mankiwwa has won so many social accolades over the past year. Getting them noticed in the social change and digital infrastructure circles of Sri Lanka.



This is not the reason why they are silent heroes, it is because they travel all over Sri Lanka trying and getting appointments with local authorities to educate them of the application and trying to sign them up. It is because they are empowering citizens silently where they already have users reporting such incidents and local authorities having a spark of light to green light the application.



They also have been taken note by Child Protection in Sri Lanka. They are trying hard to change Sri Lanka one person at a time, one authority at a time.

NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES


Cheers!
