Mauritius Tourism Industry Hoping for Growth in Indian Tourists
The economic troubles in Europe have been affecting luxury destinations in the Indian Ocean such as Mauritius and Maldives, and now these two island nations have to target other markets such as wealthy travellers from China and India. In fact, the Mauritius tourism industry is actively targeting the Indian market at the moment and is expecting a growth in visitors from India of around 6 percent in 2012.
The Indian outbound market is growing all the time so countries like Mauritius, Maldives and Seychelles are working hard to attract new visitors. The Mauritius Tourism Minister is planning on heading to New Delhi in order to discuss adding another flight per week with Air Mauritius from India to Mauritius. At the moment there are four flights from Mumbai every week, two from New Delhi and one each from Chennai and Bangalore.
As well as upping flights to Mauritius, the Mauritian tourism industry is hoping to introduce a number of promotional activities in cities all over the country with a budget of one million US dollars. The minister has stated that this budget could be increased if needs be.
There are many family friendly Mauritius hotels all over the islands where a fun filled holiday can be had. For many years, tourists from Europe have been coming to these beautiful shores to experience a luxury holiday as it should be. Beautiful white sandy beaches, warm clear waters and lots of activities make Mauritius a perfect destination for a family holiday. Indian families will no doubt also be enticed to travel to Mauritius for a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.
Most hotels in Mauritius are perfect for a family holiday as they are situated on the beach where children can spend the day playing in the shallows while parents can sit back and enjoy the warm sunshine. If the beach is not your thing then you will find an impressive pool area in most resorts where there are various sections which often include an adult's only section and a pool area for children. Most resorts have a children's club where there will be plenty of activities on offer throughout the day to keep them busy and at night there will usually be some form of entertainment just for the children before they start the family entertainment shows.
Mauritius is more about the resorts however and those families that want to explore the island will not be disappointed. There are many hotel run excursions that you can book including trips to the cities such as Port Louis or Grand Bahie for some fantastic shopping opportunities. In Port Louis there is plenty to see and do and here you will learn a lot about the culture of Mauritius.
Nature lovers can explore some of the beautiful rainforests in Mauritius where they will come across some truly spectacular plant life and maybe a rare bird or two. There are some amazing photo opportunities to be had there.
