The Minister told Haveeru that some football, tennis, music and movie stars have begun to arrive in the Maldives for the Christmas and New Year holidays. Tourism authorities are working hard to keep them away from paparazzi and allow them to enjoy their holiday in Maldives in peace, Minister added. “Such stars coming to spend their holiday in Maldives are great exposure for the country,” Adeeb said. Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone and British pops star Pixie Lott are currently in Maldives for the festive break. Soccer ace David Beckham is believed to be arriving in the Maldives on December 28.
