The Indian Ocean holiday destination fully reopens to rebuild its vital tourism industry after long months of isolation.
The island nation of Mauritius has fully opened its doors to international visitors, hoping to rebuild its key tourism industry after long months of isolation because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The move on Friday was greeted with a mixture of optimism, relief and some caution in the Indian Ocean paradise.
“This reopening is inevitable because 100,000 families depend on tourism to live,” Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism Minister Steven Obeegadoo said at a news conference on Thursday.
