Mauritius promoted as destination for Middle East tourists
Emirates, a global connector of people and places, and the Mauritius tourism authorities are holding a series of road show events across the Middle East region to promote tourism to the Indian Ocean paradise.
The events, organised by the airline and the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA), will promote Mauritius’ many attractions in the key Middle East markets of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) between 2 February and 10th February 2014.
Starting in Riyadh on 2 February, the road show activities will then move to Jeddah (3 February), Doha (5 February), Kuwait (6 February) Abu Dhabi (9 February), culminating in Dubai on 10th February.
The road show follows the recent deployment of an Emirates A380 to Mauritius, enabling tourists to travel to the idyllic destination on the airline’s flagship aircraft.
The Mauritian delegation for the road show will be led by Hon. Michael Sik Yuen, Minister of Tourism and Leisure and Dr. Karl Mootoosamy, Director of the MTPA. Senior Emirates’ representatives will join the activities.
Mauritian resorts and tourist operators such as Sun Resorts, Beachcomber Hotels, Veranda Leisure Hotels, St Régis Hotel, Attitude, Constance Hotels and Resorts, Le Preskil, Alyzée Resort, Mautourco, Luxe Voyages and SouthGate Voyages will also participate in the roadshow.
Emirates Holidays, the tour-operating arm of Emirates airline, is constantly promoting Mauritius with an offering that includes holidays for families and leisure travellers, as well as dedicated Mauritius packages for honeymooners and spa enthusiasts.

In December 2013, Emirates and the MTPA signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), ensuring that the two organisations will continue to work closely together to promote inbound tourism from key markets.
