Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) said that more than 160,000 tourists have already visited the island in the first quarter of 2022, including thousands of GCC travellers.<\/p>\n

Authorities expect tourist numbers to increase substantially over the coming weeks for travellers from the GCC in particular, as travel restrictions are further eased, and its tailor-made holidays with its partners at dnata Travel continue to grow in popularity.<\/p>\n

Arvind Bundhun, director of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority, commented: \u201cThe rising number of travellers arriving in Mauritius is testimony to its effective vaccination strategy and the highest standards of safety across the country that have helped restore confidence in our guest travellers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is becoming easier for travellers to plan their Mauritius holidays. The requirement for pre-departure PCR testing has been lifted, easing a travellers\u2019 journey, at a perfect moment, just before the summer. Our GCC guests can enjoy an even easier booking and travelling experience for summer breaks with our partner dnata Travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
