Destination
2000 - Maldives |
|
The countdown has started
years ago. We have all made the journey through the century and the new
millennium is just round the corner. A milestone in the history of mankind
is about to happen and whether we admit it or not the anticipation of this
special occasion is affecting us all. It is only natural that such a
special time calls for special activities to be enjoyed in special places.
After all you will only experience it once in your lifetime (if you are
lucky)! The timing of the turn of the century couldn’t have been better for the Maldives! We face challenging times ahead with the emergence of cheaper long haul destinations and economic problems in our generating markets. The increase in bed capacity at such a time hasn’t been much help for the average occupancy rates of the destination either. It is definitely time for us to make a stronger presence in the international front. It is high time for us to communicate to our generating markets that the Maldives still is the best! Nature has been most generous to us. Our beaches and our underwater world rate at the very top! Our carefully built products, with the needs of our visitors in mind let our visitors enjoy this tropical haven in comfort. As some of us say we allow our visitors to go ‘luxuriously back to nature’. The Maldives is most certainly a very special place to visit for a special occasion. ‘Destination 2000 - Maldives’ is not a coincidence. It is a perfect combination. As the end of the millenium draws closer, we at MTPB are busy planning special activities for the very last year of the century. Our hopes are high, our ambitions for the Maldives great, and our confidence that the year 2000 will be an era of prosperity and progress for the country is unwavering. We will definitely put the Maldives at the very top of the most sought after long haul holiday destinations in the world. The campaign ‘Destination 2000 - Maldives’ will be instrumental in creating awareness for the Maldives across the globe and in attracting visitors from all over the world to this truly unique holiday destination. |
The islands are very small and low-lying with many being no more than two meters above sea level. Common features are tall coconut palms, white sandy beaches and crystal clear lagoons. There are no hills, mountains or rivers in the Maldives. The protective coral reef surrounding every island is a submerged underwater garden which is home to hundreds of species of multi-coloured tropical fish and countless shapes and sizes of coral and shells.
Here is paradise, with all the comforts of modern living, in a desert island setting. In Kurumba, you will find elegant bungalows and five first-class restaurants tucked away amidst beautiful natural surroundings.
The first five-star resort of the Maldives, Kurumba Village is also the most well-known to the international visitor.
Gentle swaying palms, fine white sand, and crystal clear waters offer the perfect setting for a lazy, get-away-from-it-all holiday, or a fun-packed time with a wide range of sports activities.
