Maldives make a comeback in Zurich: Visit Maldives Week

Auftaktbild Maldives Roadshow

After a five-year break, Visit Maldives returned to Switzerland with its popular “Visit Maldives Week,” making a stop at the Kameha Grand Hotel in Glattpark, Zurich.

The roadshow, organized by Kaus Media Services for the DACH region, brought together 11 premium partners including luxury resorts, airlines, and tour operators. Each had the chance to present their offers in a 10-minute showcase format. The event welcomed around 50 professionals from the Swiss travel industry — a turnout that exceeded expectations.

Well-known resorts such as Furaveri, Filitheyo Island, Medhufushi, St. Regis, Lily Beach, and Hideaway were among those represented. KLEBER GROUP was present at the event, with Carolin Benda attending on behalf of Filitheyo Island Resort to share updates and connect with industry professionals.

Zurich is also gaining relevance as a departure hub, particularly with the boutique airline Beond expanding its service from Zurich, Milan, and soon Munich via Dubai to the Maldives. The airline reported a strong load factor of around 80 percent between April and July and plans to double its fleet soon.

Participants responded positively to the event. Nadin Perren from Knecht Reisen described it as the perfect preparation for an upcoming familiarization trip. Let’s go Tours also emphasized how valuable these direct interactions are for staying up to date with products and maintaining strong relationships with agents.
