Online searches for this location spiked dramatically from all around the world as the PM went snorkelling among the enthrallingly stunning beaches; in fact, it outperformed the usual frenzy for the nearby Maldives.
Curiosity about the UT was also piqued by the uproar surrounding the disparaging comments made by three Maldivian ministers, who saw Lakshadweep as a danger to their nation’s tourism industry.

The #ExploreIndianIslands hashtag received a significant boost when well-known people endorsed the idea of utilising our own tourism resources. The Lakshadweep government should use this chance to establish itself as a popular travel destination for both domestic and foreign travellers.
The moment is right for it to do so. It must concentrate on the items that tourists check off when they go to enjoy a destination’s hospitality and natural beauty. The local economy may experience a boom as a result of the newfound interest in the alluring islands, providing residents with more economic opportunities.

Travellers are finding it difficult to navigate the laws restricting what they can and cannot consume while on vacation. These must be examined, and myths regarding the islands must be debunked. Simultaneously, the authorities will need to overhaul the infrastructure in order to compete with the Maldives, which has developed its tourism industry over the past few decades. This includes offering world-class hotels and resorts as well as easier connectivity to the islands.
