Mauritius beckons!

Mauritius is banking on Indian tourists like never before. The Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) is targeting a 20 to 30% increase in Indian tourist inflow by the end of this year, and for that, special leisure packages have been worked out. These include 3 site-seeing tours, water sports and airport transport for anything between $400 to $3,000, depending on the hotel you want to stay in. There are also whopping 25-50 per cent discounts being offered to honeymooners. Already the statistics in this vacationers’ paradise – that gives facilities like visas on arrival – are impressive: during 2005, inbound tourism from India grew by 20.4 % (there were 29,755 arrivals). Till July this year 23,151 tourists have visited Mauritius from India (an increase of 30.7 % over 2005 for the same period). That’s India’s penchant for sun-kissed beaches!
