Dubbed as the premier travel event of Maldives, Maldives Travel Awards Gala will see more than 200 travel professionals from the industry come together to celebrate the winners in 25 categories of the Gala Edition which is exclusive for the resorts, airlines and liveaboards operating in Maldives.
Maldives Travel Awards 2018 saw a record number of nominations in all major categories. More than 200 nominations were registered for the awards, in 25 categories. Winners are selected based on a combined rating of scores awarded by the panel of judges and popular vote collected via SMS and online platforms.

A panel of judges representing 6 industry professionals traveled to nominated properties over a period of one month in order to score the nominees. The winners of some categories in the Gala edition, including airline categories are decided on popular vote alone.
This year winners of Maldives Travel Awards People’s Edition will also be presented at the Gala celebrations. 5 Travel professionals will be celebrated in the People’s Edition 2018.
