 recommends We were very pleased with the services provided by CTIA when we travelled to Maldives for our honeymoon. They were very open about the expenses and considerate about the budget. They helped us find the most affordable accommodation within the given budget and helped us plan the trip to get the most out of it. CTIA did not only make the bookings for us but where in constant touch with us throughout the trip and took care of all the backend works like web checkins, immigration checkins. They did all the heavy lifting in terms of filling out the forms thus letting us enjoy to the fullest and not spend much time worrying about form fill up and documentation.
I would highly recommend their services for any trip be it international or national.
