Katrina Kaif Named Global Tourism Ambassador of Maldives

  • Visit Maldives named Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif as its global tourism ambassador on June 10, 2025, to promote the Sunny Side of Life campaign.
  • This appointment followed a period of strained India-Maldives relations in early 2024, which began after controversial remarks by Maldivian ministers and social media backlash.
  • Relations improved after diplomatic visits in mid-2024, including the Maldivian PM attending Modi's swearing-in and S. Jaishankar’s visit to the Maldives, paving the way for renewed cooperation.
  • Katrina Kaif described the Maldives as a place where exceptional luxury blends seamlessly with stunning natural scenery, and Visit Maldives' CEO praised her lively spirit and widespread appeal, saying she is an ideal ambassador for the campaign.
  • The new ambassador role and ongoing marketing efforts aim to revive tourist interest, following a one-third drop in Indian arrivals last year amid tensions.
