Mauritius Diversifies To Drive Growth

In an effort to boost its tourism sector and adapt to shifting global trends, Mauritius has diversified its offerings, emphasising its rich cultural heritage, historical landmarks and luxury golf tourism.

This strategic shift aims to attract a broader range of international travellers and reduce the island's reliance on traditional beach vacations.

Mauritius with its diverse population comprising Indo-Mauritian, Afro-Mauritian, Sino-Mauritian and Creole communities boasts a unique cultural blend. This vibrant mix of traditions, languages, festivals and cuisine has become a focal point for the island's tourism marketing.

Last year, Mauritius organised its first international Crolit : Beauty of our Mauritianism festival.

Minister of Tourism Richard Duval says this is part of the islands mission to market itself beyond the beach to international travellers.
