Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>THE \u201c#MauritiusNow. It\u2019s time to discover\u201d tourism campaign has received a major boost, thanks to the love shown the country by French singer, Christophe Ma\u00e9.<\/p>\n

He recently spent ten days with his family in the island nation and is planning to return in early 2023 for a concert. Not only was this their seventh visit!<\/p>\n

Mauritius was the last country the family visited before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the first since the changes in travel rules. The award-winning pop singer has shared that Mauritius is his favourite destination to recharge his batteries before touring.<\/p>\n

Ma\u00e9\u2019s admiration of the destination is a boost to the \u201c#MauritiusNow. It\u2019s time to discover\u201d, an initiative of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA).<\/p>\n

One of the angles of the marketing of Destination Mauritius is to make the VIPs \u2013 including artists, sportsmen, influencers, and others \u2013 discover different facets of the country, as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, it is important to create and capitalise on such opportunities so that these personalities from our key markets can discover more of the multiple facets of the Mauritian destination,\u201d MTPA stated.<\/p>\n

These facets include Mauritius\u2019 cuisine inspired by several continents, rich heritage, meeting of cultures, local artists, sustainable tourism initiatives and traditional sites.<\/p>\n

Ma\u00e9 is a member of the \u201cFriends of Mauritius\u201d one of its spontaneous \u201cambassadors. \u201d During his stay, the singer interacted with several local artists. This allowed him to discover, among others, the group \u201cAnonym\u201d, which he would like to highlight as the opening act for one of his shows in France.<\/p>\n

MTPA believes this interest of the French singer for the local scene and the participation of the local group in France would bring opportunities to make Mauritius shine among Anonym\u2019s fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MTPA welcomes this increased interest of the French singer for local talents and the Mauritian scene and will support this first initiative as much as possible,\u201d said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Born Christophe Martichon, Ma\u00e9 is one of France\u2019s most popular musicians. He has won numerous awards, including the French artist of the year at the 2008 World Music Awards and twice (2008, 2014) winning the Song of the Year.<\/p>\n
