Apart from the pristine shores and adventure activities that Mauritius promises GCC travellers, especially with the long Eid weekend round the corner, the island now boasts ‘healthy air quality’ – a bonus for environment-conscious visitors.

Amidst plummeting air quality across the world, a recent report released by IQAir says that Mauritius, the picturesque nation nestled in the Indian Ocean, is among the only seven countries worldwide that has managed to meet the stringent air quality guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO).

In an era where concerns over environmental degradation and the impact of pollution on public health are at an all-time high, Mauritius is a haven of fresh, clean air, a statement said.

Arvind Bundhun Director MTPA said: “Today’s traveller is environment conscious and many of them are making choices for destinations that prioritise sustainability and environment protection including air quality initiatives.

“Mauritius has always ensured that maintaining and improving air quality is a priority for the island nation which enhances tourism experiences and contributes to the overall economic and environmental sustainability.

“Besides, factors such as health and comfort, visibility of attractions and outdoor activities rely on clean and fresh air for tourists to enjoy Mauritius to the fullest.

“By continuing to lead initiatives for cleaner skies and a healthier planet, Mauritius sets a shining example for nations worldwide, proving that with dedication and determination, a brighter, more sustainable future is within reach.” – TradeArabia News Service
