However, it has been reported that the ban is on tourists from India staying at facilities (mostly budget hotels) in inhabited islands. As Indian celebrities would mostly prefer exclusive islands (which are expensive), there will be no impact in their tours.

Sorry, spoke too soon. The #Bollywood Insta feed is going to be just fine: the ban is on tourists from #India staying at facilities (mostly budget hotels) in inhabited islands. The resorts our celebs go to (mostly exclusive islands) are all open. 💁‍♀️#Maldives pic.twitter.com/wmHJWA2bwM
