Maldives has taken first place for the South Asia region in the inaugural United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Tourism video competition. 

The winning Maldives promotional video was released earlier this year to promote the Maldives…Sunny side of life to a global audience. 

The video showcases the country's beauty and culture as well as the destination's tourism product in a colourful 30-second clip.    

The UNWTO Tourism Video competition winners were announced on the occasion of the 21st session of the UNWTO General Assembly in Medellin, Columbia in September, with invitations to participate having been extended to the member states to compete. 

This new competition recognises the importance of multimedia in marketing and promotion of tourism destinations.
