The Maldives government will ban Israelis from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over the war in Gaza.
You should plan to spend around** $299 (MVR4,623) per day on your vacation in the Maldives.** This is the average daily price based on the expenses of other visitors
Even assuming that every tourist stays one single day that would be 3.3 million dollars. And I’d wager most tourists stay longer than that
Very nice. It’s not just a symbolic boycot
A symbolic boycott is important. They still picked a side in this mess.
“Go back to Israel, draft-dodger. Murder more Gazans. Allāh be praised.”

As the Maldives is a tourist resort 0.6% of the most major income is pretty big

An entire economy is made up of many parts. 0.3% doesn’t sound like much but with big numbers it adds up.
A sacrifice of 20 million dollars is more than just symbolism.

Let’s pretend the Maldives is America. Would you say that America losing 0.3% of its entire GDP over a boycott is "symbolic?
