Mauritius: see you in paradise soon
The Mauritian Government along with all stakeholders and the island’s population, have joined hands and are taking all possible measures to welcome back visitors to the safe island of Mauritius. Arvind Bundhun, Director– Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority, is optimistic of safety measures and COVID-19 protocols in his destination which will enable a prompt and safe restart of the Mauritius tourism industry.
Mauritius is ranked as one of the top countries in the world for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic and they have prioritised their tourism staff during their vaccine rollout to keep their visitors as safe as possible.
Bundhun says, “We are opening our island in two phases, starting 15th July, so that we can offer you safe travel and environment from the time you enter Mauritius. We will follow all safety protocols, starting from the airport to transport, hotels, restaurants, attractions, et al, so that your trip to Mauritius remains safe and memorable.”
Bundhun continues, “We know that Indians love to travel and they are bound to their homes due to the pandemic, but they are already yearning to travel as soon as things are back to normal. Hence, there is already a builtup demand for a much-needed break from the current monotony. Mauritius, with its azure lagoons, pristine beaches and many other activities/attractions, would most certainly beckon the Indian travellers to refresh and rejuvenate themselves.”
The ongoing rapid inoculation drive in Mauritius and India is expected to ensure that a majority of the population would be vaccinated and protected against COVID-19, which would enable them to travel as soon as the spread of the pandemic is minimised.
“Also, meanwhile, discussing with all our trade partners in India, we found out that a significant section of Indians
are eager to travel to Mauritius when the restrictions are eased. Hence, we are quite optimistic of the revival of substantial tourist footfalls in Mauritius,” assures Bundhun.
Mauritius has long been known as a honeymoon destination. However, they have a lot more to offer — affordable luxury, MICE including weddings, adventure sports, international-level golf courses, filming facilities and more. Thus, MTPA is promoting the island to welcome all segments of tourists.
