dnata Travel Group and Emirates Holidays, both subsidiaries of the Emirates Group, are set to host Horizon: Maldives, an industry event at Kurumba resort on June 10, 2025. This gathering highlights the group's focus on the Maldives as a rapidly growing destination.
The event follows a record year for Maldivian tourism in 2024, when over 2 million international visitors arrived—a 9% increase from 2023. The Ministry of Tourism anticipates that arrivals will reach 2.2 million by the end of this year.
Horizon: Maldives aims to enhance cooperation between Emirates Group brands and local hospitality entities. Discussions will cover sustaining tourism growth and exploring new visitor segments. John Bevan, CEO at dnata Travel Group, stated, "This is our second Horizon event in the Maldives... We’ve seen significant and consistent growth in traveller demand for the Maldives across all our global brands over the years."
