Mauritius Island in the Indian Odean
Each country has its own tune; in the course of the centuries, different nations crossing different horizons, they are unable to resist. Many of them leave alone their beloved and have endangered the perils of unexplored seas, let themselves attracted by the wonderful melodies of the siren coming from the isles. Yesterday again, the Science and the Technology have joined together to build up the world with all its islands dispersed within the reach of these new explorers, the tourists, culprits hereafter to exercise their choice. So in the past, tourists in multitude crossing thousands of kilometres for the only pleasure of getting a tan of the sun on our bright beaches, the tourists of the third millennium are of an all other kind.
The tourist, of today, wants to have according what he is able to spend. Certainly, the sea, the sun and the beach remain the major trumps of Mauritian tourism. But the tourist does not feel satisfied any more with a mere single exclusive product. He asks a ' Package ' which meets a whole range of benefits, sports activities, local usages, historical sites, spectacular panoramas, quality kitchen, interesting shopping, exotic music, local colors, and especially, vast aquatic environment.
It is long ago now, Mauritius is aware of changes which take place in this tourist sector; she took the steps to diversify her charm and support, so, her advantage in this highly competitive area. There were claims that Mauritius is considered to be one of the first island destinations by those most important media representatives. What are therefore the ingredients which build the overpowering Mauritian tourist cocktail so distinctive?
Besides the proverbial hospitality of its population, and the excellence of its contractual service, there is, of course the incomparable beauty of the country which inspired the distinctive quality such as “Eden of the seas”, or there are others describe it as “The heavenly island”.
Consequently one can find, golden beaches and turquoise lagoons there; a hinterland of an indisputable beauty, with its picturesque mountains and its rainbows; a multi culture made by a mosaic of breeds. Mauritius has, in fact, of a certain number of remarkable trumps, but when they are regrouped with so much happiness in a so small island, here we have extraordinary ' Package '! In fact, where elsewhere in the world, would you be awakened by the call of the muezzin in the early hours, followed immediately by the ringing of the steeples and the conch sound that play themselves in counterpoint, such a musical partition? Again can anyone find turquoise lagoons so calm and translucide as of the swimming pools, adjoining hard cliffs beaten by the oceanic heave?
A lot of these sites can be reached on foot; greater number can also be reached with a bike, and certainly all within less than an hour with a motor car.
