Travel and Tourism
Over the years, Mauritius has emerged as a model of democracy and vibrant economy, and it has successfully maintained competitiveness as a remarkable tourist destination in the Indian Ocean. Travel and Tourism as a key pillar of Mauritian economy has lived up to its promise by contributing to take the country all the way from a low income to an upper middle-income economy, with the creation of jobs and investment opportunities. Tourism, one of the most dynamic industries in Mauritius, is growing at a fast pace with tourist arrivals in 2018 amounting to 1 399 408 compared to 1 341 860 in 2017. The potentials of the sector are being harnessed for a sustainable and greener tourism industry. It is thus witnessing continued growth with consumer-oriented diversification through digitalisation and innovation.
