Maldives sacks multiple ministers to pacify India

[Waz]

Yeah, on ground....India is 20% of total revenues for Maldieves.

Can be replaced by more more western tourists with far stronger buying power. You really haven't looked into this.


The top 5 markets for Maldives thus far this year are Russia, India, UK, China and Germany. India had consistently remained at the top arrivals spot, especially post-covid. India, having exceeded pre-pandemic arrival numbers in 2021, is currently ranked at the #2 arrivals spot, with 117,131 visitors from India to the Maldives, with Russia on number 1, with 117,198 visitors by 15th July 2023. Additionally, 84,763 travellers from the UK, 77,202, travellers from China and 69,074 travellers from Germany have visited the Maldives this year. The UK and German markets had both exceeded pre-pandemic arrival figures by 2022. This year marks the first time that the China market, one of our traditionally strongest markets, has reached the top 5 since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Maldives welcomes the 1 millionth tourist of 2023!

The Maldives has today welcomed the 1 millionth tourist for the year 2023. The 1 millionth tourist arrival figure was achieved on August 12th last year, making this year's achievement a full month...

So Russians are more numerous and Brits, Chinese etc are just behind. Now with the numerous wealthy Americans coming over you seem to think they're in major trouble due to a boycott from Indians who love Modi.

Yes, UK+ Germany + France + Italy can make sure that Maldieves show India who's the boss bro.

Modi just baited them with Lakshadweep visit and they happily took the bail. This is where Modi outsmarts his opponents.

Maldives has no idea what our troll army can do to them. All resorts are being downvoted with ugly reviews right now on Google maps and tripadvisor. Things are gonna get ugly from this point on. Maldives will be pointed as a third world shithole terrorist infested country for the next few months and tourism will dry up.

There have been actual cancellations by the thousands of their resorts and flights. Bollywood celeb cancellations must have hit premium properties massively. You know any business organization that has major revenues from a client takes major effort to keep 'good relations' with said clients. It takes an enormous sense of arrogance to abuse one of your biggest revenue generators and feel like nothing will happened.

No but their tourists can 'bro'. Is India trying to boss around Maldives according to your analysis?

Is India trying to boss maldieves aorund? Of course not. We're a peace loving country wanting friendly neighborly relations. We express love for them at every turn right now.

That's not important. What's important is that they should be 'aligned' to our core inetersts after this.

 

[Joe Shearer]

I don't know.
I feel uncomfortable with Jaishankar's slavish implementation of the BJP's bully-boy tactics against all neighbouring countries.
Including this one.
No nation is obliged to align itself to another nation's core interests.

Not happening. They won on basis of this whole "India out" campaign.

That's real good news. But what are you basing it on? Results out yet? I haven't been paying attention.
