Voted as the Indian Ocean's Leading Adventure Tourism Destination at the World Travel Awards, Mauritius is emerging as the premier choice for GCC travellers during the upcoming Eid al-Fitr’s long weekend.

Whether holidaying with the family or preparing to explore its pristine underwater realms, golf retreats, solo hikes through national parks, or in pursuit of its waterfalls, Mauritius offers unique holiday moments for every discerning traveller.

Mauritius is vast enough to host adventures activities yet compact enough to ensure access to all corners of the island.

From indulging in water sports along its turquoise shores to immersing oneself in its rich cultural tapestry, Mauritius promises an array of activities to suit every taste and preference.

With its white sandy beaches, culinary offerings, warm hospitality and breathtaking natural beauty, Mauritius invites you to embark on a journey of discovery and relaxation, and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime, a statement said.

Air quality bonus

Apart from the pristine shores and adventure activities that Mauritius promises GCC travellers, 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
