With Maldives becoming one of the most popular outbound destinations for Indian travellers, the Akquasun Group constantly tries to promote it to the travel industry in India. Keeping this in mind, Akquasun Maldives recently hosted a networking evening along with Sun Siyam Resorts for its agent partners in Mumbai.

Present at the event were a few of Akquasun clients and the aim was to introduce them to Sun Siyam Resorts. Leading the delegation from the resort property was Rakesh Gupta, Account Director of Sales & Marketing – India, Sun Siyam Resorts.

Speaking about the event, BA Rahim, Group Director & CEO, Akquasun Group, says, “This event is all about promoting Maldives and showcasing the different experiences that the destination can offer. All these years Maldives has been known for a few chosen properties in India. But now, there are lot of new and upgraded properties that have been built and introduced to the Indian market. Sun Siyam Resorts is one such property that is tapping the Indian market.”

It currently has three properties in the Maldives and is coming up with one more property there soon. Rahim adds, “Slowly but steadily they have penetrated the market here. All their properties have a lot of potential here. This event will be followed with a series of much bigger event in five cities. It will have a Maldivian night where we plan to bring in some performers from Maldives and Maldivian cuisine. We will cover the metros of Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai.”

Underlining the cities that they will be tapping for Madlives, Sujit Nair, Founder & Group Managing Director, Akquasun Group, adds, “We are continuously tapping newer markets and cities such as Bhubaneshwar, Raipur, Indore and we want agents to come and see the vibrancy and the potential of Maldives. They already give us business. But since all the properties are eyeing India as a source market – there are so many properties and the competition is becoming tough and everybody has their own niche.”
