Local travel agent Voyages Maldives has become the latest to participate in the upcoming Vacations Expo, strengthening the lineup at the second edition of the country’s first ever travel show.

At the first edition of the expo held last year, Voyages Maldives presented packages to destinations like Jordan. The company, which has established itself as a one-stop shop for all travel needs to the Maldives, is expected to showcase similar packages and much more at this year’s edition.

Several big names, including major travel industry stakeholders, airlines, tour operators, guesthouses and regional destinations, have already confirmed their participation at the expo, which would be held from July 6-8 in capital Male. The confirmed parties include Islamic pilgrimage agents like Musafireen and Hajj Corporation, local tour operator Kraken, guesthouse Vinorva and Indian travel agent Holiday Kerala.

The year’s edition will also include a Visit and Win segment that offers visitors the opportunity to win exciting travel packages, including Umrah trips.

The annual travel trade show brings together leading travel companies, hoteliers, airlines, tour operators, travel agents, online travel companies, liveaboards, cruises, dive operators and other travel marketers under one roof. Exhibitors can display various attractive travel packages and services.

The expo is organised by leading event management company Highrise, which has successfully delivered several local and international events, including Maldives Travel Awards, Maldives Film Awards, Maldives Living Expo and Sounds of Maldives.
