Mauritius reels in South African visitors

NEW LEADERSHIP – NEW SUCCESSES AS MAURITIUS BECOMES MAGNET FOR SOUTH AFRICANS

(Posted 06th July 2016)

After crossing the 100.000 visitor mark last year has South Africa become one of Mauritius’s key source markets for tourists, a trend continuing in 2016 inspite of the weakness of the South African Rand. South Africa remains among the top three producers of tourists for Mauritius, making it a hugely important market for hotels, resorts, DMC’s and of course the now revived Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority.
South African Airways has subsequently acted on the growing demand by adding another frequency from Johannesburg to Port Louis, raising flights from 10 to 11 per week.
With convenient connections for both incoming and outgoing flights, is the added service also of interest for non South African visitors seeking affordable fares from their home country to Mauritius.
Mauritius is a member of the Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands group, which also includes Reunion, Madagascar, Mayotte, the Comoros, Seychelles and the Maldives.
