For your return, you can obtain your PCR test at whichever resort you are staying at, ensure to inform the resort once you have checked in.

One last thing, I cannot stress this enough take tonnes of pictures, make sure you snorkel or dive underwater in the Maldives is whole different beauty which I cannot describe in words.

The Maldives – Why is it different and exotic?

 Ever wondered that the Maldives is a 100% on arrival visa country and visa-free country to the entire globe. 

If the visa is free and easily accessible, why is it not sold by every travel agent?

Because it is unlike other destinations, operationally and luxury-wise.

Most travel agents compare the Maldives to Dubai, Thailand, and many other destinations which is a wrong comparison, because those destinations and the Maldives are poles apart.

  • The Maldives has every global brand from Asia, Middle East, Europe, or the Americas under one roof.
  • Operationally in Dubai, or any other destination, you arrive and get into your car or coach and you leave immediately. In the Maldives, there is a wait time for your transfer.
  • In other countries, transfers may occur according to a timetable prescheduled; when it comes to speedboats or seaplanes there is no prescheduled transfer pick-up drop-off time that can be shared months in advance.
  • The Maldives cannot be compared even in the budget to most destinations, when told "oh in this country a 5 star is only this amount", compared to most countries the Maldives sells an exclusive form of luxury so the price is set as such too.
  • The way you sell or market most destinations is not how you market the Maldives, so please stop comparing.
  • If you have not noticed a larger number of Travel Agents or DMCs that sell the Maldives, only sell the Maldives not a mix of lots of destinations unless you are in the airlines business too.
  • The Maldives is not a shopping fiesta destination, where go to the city for a quick bite, shop a little, and come back.

  • The Maldives is a Robison Crusoe experience.
  • The Maldives is the only destination that embodies the true meaning of a holiday; you are disconnected, you are not in a rush or timetable. You are relaxed, you travel on most holidays if not to wake up earlier than you usually do and be tired than you normally are.
  • Maldives one resort is one island mostly.
  • The Maldives is not the casino, gambling, and clubbing destination.
  • The Maldives wonders and pampers you like no other, from the view you wake up to, to the hospitality they provide, the meals they prepare you, to the luxury and wonders they own they are a magical destination on their own.
  • Other countries vs Maldives transfers: cars, vans, coaches, limos, and the Maldives is a speedboat, domestic flight, and seaplane (transfers never have been that scenic ever)
  • The Maldives is about strolls, reconnecting, family time, romantic time, dinner under the stars, lying on the beach checking the most crystal-clear water and that is the Maldives!
  • One thing most do not realize every resort island is a tiny high-end fully functional city, they house their team, have telecommunications, sewage disposal, water purification, medical facilities, and resort offices. This all exists along with luxurious villas, restaurants, kids clubs, spas, and gyms; that my friend is the Maldives.

I ask again; If the visa is free and easily accessible, why is it not sold by every travel agent?

The Maldives is not just another destination, but also an art where the destination has been marketed and positioned uniquely, how amazingly beautiful and unique it is, the unique luxuries it owns like underwater villa, underwater restaurants, and many more.

 The Maldives is like no other destination you have ever sold! Trust me once you start marketing, promoting, and selling this destination it has an addictive allure on its own.

I am not only a person who sells the Maldives, to date I am in love with this destination, I am not promoting it as a job but as a passion.

If you are ever planning to sell the magical destination this might help you: https://spark.adobe.com/page/bBje0VWUGCSNO/

Things to know when selling Quarantine Packages on a budget to the Maldives

 


The Maldives does not have rooms counts like 400 rooms per resort, or room type.

The Maldives local guest house or resorts gets sold out very fast as it is globally sold.

Most budgeted properties are sold out till third week of August already (today being 31st July 2021)

Stop comparing other destination prices with the Maldives, as this is destination that standard very unique to themselves.

Cheers!
