press release

The hospitality and tourism sector is a vital economic pillar and it will be one of the key drivers in propelling Mauritius towards a high income economy, the Prime Minister Sir Anerood Jugnauth, said yesterday at the opening of the Mystic Life Style Hotel in Mont Choisy.

In his speech, Prime Minister Jugnauth recalled that in 2015, tourism was one of the sectors that recorded the highest year-on-year sectoral growth rate in terms of GDP contribution. 'There is much buoyancy within the sector and with a more open air access policy, we are making inroads in new European and Asian markets while consolidating our traditional markets. Our achievement within a year is encouraging as we recorded over 1.15 million tourist arrivals in 2015', he pointed out.
