Speaking at the event, Vijaye Haulder, deputy director, MTPA, said Mauritius has been a round-the-year tourist destination for leisure and adventure. “Apart from the beaches, wildlife safaris in Mauritius have been a double delight for tourists. The animal life at the island will surely be an experience to cherish for every traveller,” he said.
Vijay Anand, country manager of MTPA, said the road show is an excellent opportunity for tourism stakeholders from Mauritius to network with Indian travel and tour providers and give a preview on new and existing products.
