Sparkling sun, blue sea: Maldives is one of India's favourite holiday destinations

Maldives: The Maldives are a group of 1,190 coral islands in the Indian Ocean that are grouped into two chains of 27 atolls. The majority of atolls are made up of a sizable, ring-shaped coral reef that supports a number of little islands.

India led the tourist chart in 2022 only after China moved out of contention due to the zero covid policy in place. China is experiencing the worst covid wave at present and no travellers are allowed due to the same reason. Chinese tourists were the number one tourist arrival in Maldives till 2019.
