India's ranking among the top tourism markets in the Maldives has fallen from the third to the fifth position within three weeks, reflecting a notable decline in Indian visitors. This shift follows diplomatic tensions sparked by derogatory remarks made by some Maldivian ministers against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Indian tourists, historically a significant demographic for the Maldives, accounting for nearly 11% of its tourism market in 2023, have reduced in numbers due to controversy surrounding Modi's visit to Lakshadweep on January 2. The diplomatic fallout resulted in a social media backlash with the hashtag #BoycottMaldives, leading to canceled trips and a suspension of Maldives flight bookings by an Indian travel portal.
