"Diplomatic Fallout: Maldives' Tourism at Risk Amid Escalating Feud with India"

Social media posts by Maldivian officials insulting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have sparked a diplomatic feud, leading to calls for an Indian boycott of the Maldives. This has resulted in a significant drop in travel bookings from India to the Maldives, potentially costing the country millions in tourism revenue. The dispute has also brought attention to the scenic chain of islands in Lakshadweep, with some Indian travelers now considering alternative destinations. The impact of the feud on the Maldives' tourism industry and the potential for a lasting boycott remain uncertain.
