Maldives has been one of the most preferred destinations among Indian celebrities within the past few months. Bollywood celebrities such as Taapsee Pannu, Varun Dhawan, Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani and Neha Dhupia are among some of the celebrities who spent their vacation in the island nation. The exposure from celebrity vacations have greatly increased the awareness within India about Maldives as one of the most preferred and safe destinations.

Maldives reopened its borders on 15th July 2020 with stringent safety measures to ensure the safety for all tourists and the citizens, and to utilize the naturally distanced nature of the islands for all tourists. Additionally, the COVID-19 vaccination program has been commenced across the Maldives, and the country’s tourism is recovering with impressive results in 2021. With regards to the Indian market, there are several activities ongoing and planned to promote Maldives as a safe haven for travelers. Visit Maldives is currently collaborating with Wedding Sutra, Thomas Cook, and MakeMyTrip, and is in discussion to conduct other similar activities to promote the destination within the region. 

Statistics published by the Ministry of Tourism reveals that India is currently the top source market for tourism in the Maldives.
