Katrina Kaif Chosen as Global Icon to Promote Maldives Tourism

In a major push to expand its international tourism profile, the Maldives has selected Bollywood icon Katrina Kaif as its new global representative. This move, announced by the nation’s tourism board, aligns with efforts to strengthen cultural and tourism links ahead of an upcoming visit by India’s Prime Minister.

The Bollywood star, known for her worldwide popularity and business ventures, has now taken on the role of promoting the Maldives as a premier vacation spot. With her immense fan following, especially across South Asia and beyond, her association is expected to significantly amplify the island nation’s presence on the global travel map.

The timing of this partnership is notable, following recent diplomatic challenges between India and the Maldives. As relations begin to stabilize, the island nation is strategically leveraging celebrity influence to revitalize its tourism industry, which plays a vital role in its economy.

During the announcement, Katrina expressed her admiration for the Maldives, highlighting its unmatched natural charm and high-end hospitality. The tourism board emphasized that her global appeal makes her the perfect choice to showcase the island paradise to a wider audience, especially as part of their ongoing seasonal promotions and travel deals.

With exclusive offers on travel and accommodation already being rolled out, the Maldives hopes to attract a surge of tourists eager to experience its scenic beaches, crystal-clear waters, and luxurious resorts under the renewed promotional campaign.
