With 83,000 Indians visiting Mauritius in 2016, the island destination has recorded a growth of 15% from India, said Vivek Anand, Country Manager – India, Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) at the seminar organised for the travel trade members of Mumbai. “We have noted an increasingly number of Indians travelling to Mauritius from Tier-II cities. Along with FITs and family travellers, the corporate segment has shown great potential in the last few years. MICE alone contributed to 15% of the total arrivals from India in 2016.” With Air Mauritius operating direct four-weekly flights from Mumbai, and twice a week from New Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai, and Mauritius offering free visa on arrival to Indians, MTPA is ambitious of achieving the double digit growth in number of Indian travellers to Mauritius in 2017.
