Male’, Maldives, 18th August 2022 – MMPRC / Visit Maldives has concluded a unique 3 month-long campaign with the national flag carrier airline of Türkiye, Turkish Airlines. The campaign, initiated in February 2022, targeted consumers to increase Maldives brand awareness and destination presence in the Turkish market.
Under the campaign, a 30-second promo video showcased the alluring scenery, the tourism products (resorts, guesthouses, liveaboards, and hotels), and uniquely-Maldivian experiences played before the beginning of each movie available on the in-house flight entertainment systems on all Turkish Airlines’ flights. The video highlighted the scattered islands of the Maldives, products and unique experiences awaiting tourists in the Maldives.
With exclusive rights to the video slot, the video was aired across 44,800 Turkish Airlines’ flights, reaching an estimated 11.2 million views. Besides being the Turkish National flag carrier, Turkish Airlines provides significant coverage and visibility for the Maldives brand through its vast international routes, as it is favoured by a lot of passengers from the West, Eastern & Central European countries as well as Middle Eastern countries.
Last year, MMPRC invited prominent journalists from Türkiye on a familiarisation trip to the Maldives. According to MMPRC, there are more marketing activities in the pipeline for the Turkish market and the surrounding region, including a major joint marketing campaign with a major Turkish tour operator later this year.
