The recent two-day historic visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Maldives bodes well for Indian tourism industry eyeing a record influx of Indian tourists to the island nation.

With the visit, Maldives is expecting to boost its economy by attracting Indian tourists. Most of the tourism workforce in the Maldives is Indian, and the destination is highly dependent on Indian tourists.

And now, the Maldives is betting on branding superstar Katrina Kaif as their tourism ambassador to further increase Indian footfall in the Maldives.

"We are focused on increasing the number of Indian tourists to meet our target of 1.5 million tourists by the end of this year. We are optimistic that with the Prime Minister's visit, it will have a positive impact on the tourism industry," stated a top official of the Ministry of Tourism, Maldives.

Time will tell if this focused strategy pays off for the Maldives, but for now, it seems that Katrina Kaif and PM Modi might bring bigger waves in the Indian tourism industry!
