MyMauritius can be downloaded from Google Play and from Apple Store, covering both Android and iPhone / Apple users.
The App was developed by MTPA in collaboration with Hospitality Plus Ltd providing a wide range of of information to users such as Your First Time Here; Our Culture & Heritage, Activities, but also an interactive map with things to see, things to do, restaurants and key features of interest to tourists.
A map is free to download, and once the application is installed on the user’s mobile device, it is even available in an offline mode.
The App is currently available in English and French, and other languages including Chinese and German will reportedly be added by September.
