Mauritius as a choice
Why has Mauritius been chosen for such a workshop? According to a recent report by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Mauritius ranks high among the list of 141 countries worldwide as per the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) 2015.
Mauritius is considered as a preferred business destination due to its investor-friendly policies. It still remains a highly price-competitive tourist destination. In a global perspective, there are several issues that the industry needs to address in future, like Technology and Communication to successfully promote destinations, financing tourism development, visa facilitation, air connectivity, Healthy environment in society, taxation policy, vocational education, employment opportunities and so on.
Moreover, the increased demographic strength of manpower in Mauritius that aspires to join service industry and become service professionals can be the one who may meet the global perspectives. Hence, this International conference is focused to highlight the challenging areas that the tourism, hospitality and aviation industry may face in future.
The participation of academia and industry stakeholders will give an insight to these issues and suggest measures to meet the desired outcomes and serve as a white paper.
