Why Mauritius is the Ultimate Travel Destination for Indian Tourists in 2026 | OTM 2026 Mr. Dinesh Burrenchobay, the Chairman of the Mauritius Tourism Board, at OTM 2026 in Mumbai. The conversation centers on the strong cultural and economic ties between Mauritius and India, with a particular focus on the Indian tourism market’s growth and potential. Mauritius experienced a 37% increase in Indian travelers in 2025, reaching 75,000 visitors, and aims to grow this number further to 100,000 in the next few years. The tourism board is strategically targeting new demographics such as Gen Z and multi-generational families, expanding promotional efforts beyond traditional honeymooners to adventure, cultural, and culinary tourists. Efforts to increase awareness in tier two and tier three Indian cities through roadshows and advertising are underway. Mauritius promotes itself not only as a beach destination but also for inland activities like hiking, food tourism, and festivals. Indian destination weddings are an emerging market, with some large-scale events already held in Mauritius, although the country seeks to expand this segment. Visa-on-arrival facilities and good flight connectivity (seven weekly flights from Bengaluru, ten from Mumbai, and one from Delhi) make Mauritius a convenient short-haul destination for Indian travelers. The board hopes to further increase flights in the future to sustain growth. Overall, the discussion highlights Mauritius’s commitment to deepening its engagement with the Indian market through diversified tourism offerings, strategic marketing, and infrastructure improvements 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel insights and destination guides! 🎥 Other Recommended Videos / Playlists https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEetixtqMjk3x_KBL1rECx-M&si=ApOHJW90uvEXdTiF https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEclBq3cl9WKaRq4AmMVArVz&si=hV5dEHG4v4mrfuf3 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEcGMfdtLwx8U8tNCBcyESy6&si=zQC5cM1qPO62ioXs Travel And Tour World is more than a magazine – it’s a global trade communication platform for the travel and hospitality ecosystem.
