New travel partnership provides affordable dream weddings and honeymoons to the Maldives.

Luxury tour operator Maldives Direct has become a premier partner with SendUsPacking.com.

UK based Maldives Direct has partnered with online travel gift list provider SendUsPacking.com to make the Maldives an even more desirable destination for weddings and honeymooners.

The SendUsPacking website is the world’s only online travel gift list service that has been developed and built specifically for Tour Operators. The system allows any persons embarking on a luxury holiday to invite their friends and family to help contribute towards the cost of the trip. SendUsPacking’s collaboration with high end Tour Operators gives travellers the best choice of destinations throughout the world.

Maldives Direct supplies only the best from the Maldives bringing a personal touch to the resorts and services they provide. Their company mission statement is a simple one, "To bring you dream holidays in the Maldives at an affordable price by utilising the power of the Internet complimented by specialist knowledge of the resorts we offer."

Maldives Direct has taken full advantage of the SendUsPacking partnership by utilising the new features within the SendUsPacking travel portal (http://www.senduspacking.com). In addition to the gift list service, the SendUsPacking travel portal helps travellers to plan and create their perfect holiday by searching for holidays by destination and budget, read useful articles on travel advice and to research companies from the supplier directory.

Jim Forrest who is one of the directors of Maldives Direct said “The SendUsPacking website is an excellent idea because very few Tour Operators are able to supply this type of service due to the costs involved. SendUsPacking provide everything we need to offer honeymoon and wedding gift lists ‘right out of the box’”

Jeremy Norburn, Account executive at SendUsPacking adds “Having Maldives Direct on board has enabled SendUsPacking to understand the luxury travel market better and build a website and service that is indispensable to the travel industry.”
