While at the Moscow Dive Show, co-exhibitors also have the opportunity to connect with businesses who produce relevant equipment, experience their products, create activity outlines, and take part in training related to water sports activities.
By participating in the exhibition, MMPRC aims to solidify the Maldives’ reputation as a premier destination for diving and water sports and increase its visibility in the Russian and CIS market. Participation in this fair comes under MMPRCs’ destination marketing efforts for the market.
