The PM of the Republic of Mauritius Rt. Hon. Sir Anerood Jugnauth clearly stated that India and Mauritius have a lot to explore in the tourism and hospitality space and has welcomed further investments in the hospitality space. With 100 percent FDI into Mauritius and promising substantial imports from India into Mauritius he felt stronger aviation ties will help to boost both business and leisure traffic between the countries.
In an Exclusive with Financial Express Online, PM Jugnauth said, “First of all it is time we revive Air Mauritius, which is facing tough times. We have recently bought four new aircrafts and would be glad to re look at the bilateral agreements in aviation. We would be keen to further work with India in the field of medical tourism and healthcare and in the eduction space. We import in billions from India.”
According to Vijay Kalantri, president, All India Association of Industries, “Mauritius is a perfect destination as a hub to link Africa especially in the area of Argo, Pharma, textile and IT. Tourism and entertainment is yet another sector that can be further explored. Exploring a film tourism initiative further will work well.”
