Katrina Kaif Named The Global Brand Ambassador For The Maldives

Actor Katrina Kaif has been appointed as the global brand ambassador for Visit Maldives. The collaboration comes on the heels of the tourism agency’s special “Summer Sale” campaign, which is designed to entice more travellers to discover the breathtaking natural beauty, vibrant marine life and exclusive luxurious experiences of the Maldives.

Her vibrant personality and strong connection with audiences worldwide make her a perfect representative for the Sunny Side of Life, the World's Leading Destination for the past five consecutive years, especially as we start our ‘Summer Sale’ push in key markets around the world."

The British-born actor is a globally recognised icon, a distinguished performer, and an award-winning entrepreneur whose influence spans industries and continents. Kaif has worked on blockbuster films and won many prestigious awards. Beyond her on-screen success, she has demonstrated entrepreneurial acumen with the launch of her Kay Beauty business.

Indian Travel To The Maldives

Maldives' decision to make Katrina Kaif its global brand ambassador for tourism comes just a month ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the nation, signalling a thaw in relations between the two countries after a period of diplomatic tension earlier last year.

As of June 7, 2025, the Maldives welcomed one million tourists, the nation's tourism department announced on X.
