Mauritius 2011 - A progressive nation

With flights leaving from the U.K. and Europe each day, Mauritius is the paradise island in the Indian Ocean that cannot be overlooked. Boasting more than 150 km of pristine white sandy beaches, and with the combination of quality well-run accommodation and friendly hospitable people, the country rates tourism as one of its highest foreign-exchange earners.

The robust economy, traditionally built on sugarcane—which
still accounts for 15 per cent of export revenues—textiles and
apparel, is now being broadened as new pillars like fi nancial
services, ICT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) are
nurtured. Investment in banking alone has reached more
than U.S.$1 billion in recent years and there are now more
than 32,000 offshore entities, primarily aimed at commerce
in India, South Africa and China, registered in Mauritius.
