Yeung, minister for Tourism and Leisure in Mauritius said we are witnessing a
prime numbers of visitors from china in current years as compared to the year
of 2011, 2012 has witnessed a significant rise in a numbers and we are looking
forward to increase more by the conclusion of this year.
China ranks 9th
on the list of top 10 Island inbound tourism and it account only 1% of the
nation total travelers.
The top three
countries in terms of touring the Island are France, the United Kingdom and
Germany which accounts 300,000 French tourists who are a regular visitor of
Mauritius said Yeung.
Guests from
European countries build up the preponderance of the island's vacationer, but expansion
from that bloc is declining.
He added Chinese
tourists are very important for the future prospect of Mauritius but till now
many Chinese are not aware about our infrastructure.
As to promote
the tourism delegation including a top level representatives had visited the
shore of Shanghai and Beijing as the Chinese people are very interested in
island circles.
As they have
already talked with travel agencies operating there at china and hoping to link
the nation to grow island tourism of Mauritius.
As far as the
completion from a nearby island and beaches are concern Mauritius is a
different one much because of its rich culture and diversity the people here have their roots from a
different nation like that from India, Africa, France and Muslim countries.
As the profusion
of French delight and African tranquility attracting more people and also a
free visa policy has helped a lot in terms of attracting Chinese people said
Wang Ning.
According to
Wang, high-altitude jumping, deep-sea fishing, golf and self-driving are among
the most admired activities for Chinese tourists.
Wang and his
company who provides services to a Chinese people has witnessed a growth in
numbers which was 1000 now they are
serving more than 2500 Chinese tourist and by the end of September a number
went up building a castle.
As many tourists
come here to spend their honeymoon and family holidays are prominent and the
percentage is growing said Wang.
In order to
reimburse the failure of its European markets and to attract more Chinese
people Mauritius is looking to improve its service ad business operation.
Opening of a
direct flight has profited many resort and hotels and Lux resort, a Mauritian
hotels group is not an exception.
In order to
serve them with pure hospitality country has initiated a Chinese housing and
restaurant where Chinese delights get served.
Sydney Pierre,
head of Worldwide Sales at Lux Resorts said they are putting their focus to
Chinese arrivals in terms of serving them we have Chinese chef and at the same
time we are training our team members as well as we have 9 Chinese people in
our resort.
The group has
also recognized offices in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, with 20 people
dealing with reservations in China. In addition, it is working with 10 Chinese
tourist companies.
And at the same
time as promised Air Mauritius has opened direct flights from Beijing and
Shanghai to Mauritius.
Chinese
travelers do not need to impede in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia anymore.
As the direct
flights are adding more people and attracting more tourist but to add more
flights or not decision is not yet discussed but it would depend on its demand
said Zhang Jian, the general manager of Air Mauritius China.
