Lakshadweep and Maldives have become the main topic of discussion in India these days. Maldives is being boycotted in the country after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Lakshadweep. Many people on social media have claimed that they have canceled their planned holidays to Maldives. At the same time, tour operators have also started preparations to cancel a large number of holidays. Let us tell you, Maldives is one of the favorite places of Indians for holidays.
The effect will be visible after 20-25 days
The Indian Association of Tour Operators estimates that the outcome of the growing protests against Maldives on social media will become clear within the next 20-25 days. He says that if a person has already booked the flight and hotel then he will not cancel it. However, he says that there have been no new inquiries for Maldives for the last few days. Deep Kalra, founder of the tour company Make My Trip, said Indians have not canceled pre-planned holidays to Maldives at present. The effect of the trend going on on social media will become clear in the coming few days. At the same time, Association President Rajeev Mehra says that it is expected that people who have paid for flights and hotels will not cancel these trips. However, expectations of new bookings are low.

Online tour company Ease My Trip has suspended all flights to Maldives due to PM Modi's visit to Lakshadweep and comments by Maldives ministers. The company's co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Nishant Pitti posted on X and said that we stand with the country. We have started a campaign to visit Lakshadweep.

Maldives is the first choice of Indians
