“Long queues for the Aeroflot counter to Moscow” are reported to us by “Krone” readers from Male Airport in the Maldives. Countless Russians are currently romping on the popular island resorts in the Indian Ocean.
The planes of the Russian airline from Moscow to Male and back are still well filled despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In any case, the Maldives are “packed with Russian vacationers,” vacationers say.
Even in times of war, people want to go on vacation – and there are no entry restrictions for tourists from the Russian Federation in the Maldives.
Incidentally, things are a bit more complicated in Europe now. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland no longer allow Russians as tourists – justifying the move on security grounds. By land, Russians now only travel to Europe via Finland or Norway.
Even from Thailand – also very popular with Russian tourists – it was said before the summer that there were hardly any guests from Russia and Eastern Europe at this time.
