Pulse Hotels & Resorts: tendencias de los viajeros del CCG a Maldivas en 2023; predicciones para 2024

Pulse Hotels & Resorts, a leading and forward-thinking Maldives-based hospitality development company, has observed growing trends with GCC travellers in 2023, opting for extended stays at their Maldives resorts – Kandima Maldivas, Nueva Maldivas y El Nautilus Maldivas. This trend aligns with the principles of ‘slow travel’, allowing guests to indulge in a longer trip while experiencing a profound connection with the destination. It is anticipated to continue growing in 2024.

El aumento mundial de los viajes en solitario también ha encontrado una base particularmente sólida entre los viajeros del CCG, y el equipo de Pulse Hotels & Resorts fue testigo de un aumento en su popularidad en 2023. Los expertos de la industria predicen que esta tendencia seguirá dominando el panorama de los viajes, con viajeros en solitario. buscando experiencias más inmersivas y auténticas en 2024.

With an aim to align its latest resort developments to global travel trends, Pulse Hotels & Resorts launched Nova Maldives in 2022 with a modern take on all-inclusive with a vibrant ‘community’ concept, tailored to Millennials and solo travellers. Meanwhile it’s ‘time stands still – anytime, anywhere’ approach to experiences and unscripted dining at ultra-luxury private island resort The Nautilus, and the massive range of activities on offer at mega-resort Kandima, lend themselves to slow travel – with more to explore, at a traveller’s pace.

Althaf Mohamed Ali, COO, Pulse Hotels & Resorts, commented: “One of the best things about slow travel is that it allows a guest to have time for all sorts of experiences, that make them feel a part of a destination. As an example of how we are adapting to this trend, we make sure that when a guest arrives at Nova, the new star among resorts in the Maldives, they are introduced to Holhuashi, a local tradition, and get a taste of the local culture, traditions and food. Our aim is to offer holistic and enriching experiences across our resorts that go beyond conventional tourist experiences.”

“Solo travellers may have varied goals, whether it’s seeking speed, adventure, relaxation, rejuvenation or the beauty of the marine environment. Our offerings at our properties align with each of these pursuits to suit the need of our guests. This ranges from group exercising or community dining at Nova to foster connections between solo travellers, or the opportunity for some ‘me’ time at The Nautilus, the most bespoke private island experience in the Maldives where guests can create a world of their own making – with free-spirited experiences tailored to their every whim and experience fine dining anytime, anywhere.”

Las Maldivas se están convirtiendo cada vez más en la mejor opción para los viajeros del CCG que buscan no solo relajación, sino también una conexión más profunda con su entorno, y las ofertas de bienestar en The Nautilus, como meditación bajo el agua y sesiones de respiración a la luz de la luna, son las más populares entre los viajeros de esta parte del mundo. Estas experiencias brindan a las personas la oportunidad de reconectarse consigo mismas y con la naturaleza en el entorno prístino de las pintorescas Maldivas.

“This shift towards slow and solo travel experiences represents a significant evolution in travel preferences, with GCC travellers leading the way in embracing a more thoughtful and sustainable approach to exploring the Maldives, as they remain one of the top source markets for the destination at an easy four-hour flight time,” added Althaf Mohamed Ali.

GCC stands for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, which for very long has been an important economic engine for global growth – has also begun to attract more tourists. The GCC countries are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
