In an apparent bid to woo Indian tourists back to the Maldives, a major tourism body has announced that it will hold road shows across key Indian cities.
As the number of Indian tourists to the Maldives continues to decline, the Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO) held discussions with India's High Commissioner, Munu Mahawar, on enhancing travel and tourism cooperation between the two countries.
A full-blown backlash was directed at the Maldives following derogatory remarks against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media by three Maldivian officials after Mr. Modi posted photos and video of the pristine Lakshadweep Islands on India’s west coast on January 6 on his X handle.
