The #BoycottMaldives trend gained significant traction after derogatory remarks were made by Maldivian officials about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This sparked outrage among Indian netizens, leading to a call for a boycott of the Maldives as a tourist destination.
On the other hand, Mauritius seems to be capitalizing on this situation by promoting itself as an alternative destination for Indian tourists. The country has been actively engaging with India, as seen in the recent statement by Mauritius Minister Alan Ganoo congratulating PM Modi on the Ram Mandir inauguration.
While the #BoycottMaldives movement is still ongoing, it is important to note that the Maldives is still a popular destination among Indian tourists. In contrast, Mauritius is making an effort to attract more Indian visitors by highlighting its close ties with India and its cultural and historical significance.

In conclusion, the #BoycottMaldives and Mauritius trends are both significant, but for different reasons. The former is a reaction to a political situation, while the latter is a strategic move by a country to attract more tourists. Ultimately, it is up to the individual traveler to decide which destination aligns with their values and preferences.
