Mauritius
Mauritius is a winner at the prestigious 2013 World Travel Awards Indian Ocean Ceremony, held on May 12, at the Paradise Island Resort & Spa, Maldives. Mauritius has been awarded the Indian Ocean’s Leading Honeymoon Destination, and Indian Ocean’s Leading Dive Destination. The industry’s elite, including CEO’s and SVPs of leading travel companies, government ministers and tourist board chiefs, attended the idyllic island gala event hailed as ‘The Oscars of the Travel Industry’.
World Travel Awards celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. The Minister of Tourism and Leisure, Michael Sik Yuen, said, “We can clearly see the positive effects of the diversification of the markets specifically in the honeymoon and sports (kite surf and diving) segments.” Mauritius, a land of coral reefs and pristine blue waters lined with white sand beaches, has proved to be a popular honeymoon destination.
The underwater world of Mauritius can be deemed a natural wonder. A dive in the sea allows you to explore coral reefs, multi-colored marine life, ship wrecks dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as some ships sunk more recently which created beautiful artificial reefs.
