Held on May 6 at the stunning Kurumba Maldives, the invite-only conference marked a milestone for the region’s hospitality industry as the largest Digital Marketing event of its kind hosted in the Maldives.

Following a highly successful debut edition in Sri Lanka, the 2025 conclave made its way to one of the world’s most sought-after travel destinations, to address how emerging digital strategies are redefining hospitality marketing in the Maldives. With digital technology evolving rapidly and shaping every touchpoint in the guest journey, the conference focused on how emerging strategies and tools can elevate performance, visibility, and profitability of the resorts in the Maldives.

Delegates also had the opportunity to engage with real-world case studies, success stories, and cutting-edge product showcases. The breakout sessions, particularly popular among attendees, offered deep dives into highly relevant themes such as mastering the SEO fundamentals, exploring how search, metasearch, and display advertising work together to drive high value bookings, the art and science of designing hotel websites that spark desire, stir emotions, and drive bookings and using data insights to take actionable steps that enhance direct booking strategy.
