Designing the Future of Tourism for the Republic of Mauritius: Re-Imagining Health Infrastructure

Ensuring the resilience of the new local tourism model will require more adaptation as tourist behaviour and consumption patterns are changing.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the necessity to explore new grounds for tourism in the Republic of Mauritius. In the ongoing global pandemic context, the country aims at attracting more senior tourists and digital nomads - two promising yet different markets segments. To reimagine the local tourism value chain, the UNDP Mauritius and Seychelles Accelerator Lab is testing hypotheses about the country’s ability to reach these two target markets, while upholding a tourism model that is sustainable, inclusive, and respectful of the cultural and ecological nature of our islands.

The budget  statement for FY2021-22 further outlines the necessity to reposition the tourism industry against a changing tourism landscape globally. The UNDP and the Accelerator Lab are assisting in this endeavour, framing the scope for the two-day dialogue on the future of the tourism sector for the Republic of Mauritius held on December 16 and 17 2021.

During the dialogue, we addressed four hypotheses, two on each day. The first two directly tackle the silver economy and the last two cover the digital nomads:

1.     Our public and private medical health infrastructure is ready and able to provide services to the silver economy;

2.     Artisanal fishers are ready and able to play an integrated role to provide community-based services to the silver economy;

3.     Mauritius has all the capabilities to deliver on a resilient, eco-friendly, and sustainable tourism model, which is attractive to digital nomads;

4.     Existing information and communication technologies in Mauritius can be leveraged to expand access to these two market segments for small operators.

Each hypothesis discussed emphasised the complexity of the local tourism value chain, however, the biggest insight was unsurprising: the future of tourism needs to be responsible and sustainable.

Our public and private medical health infrastructures are ready and able to provide services to the silver economy.

90% of the participants of the two-day dialogue, including representatives from ministries, parastatal bodies and MSMEs, think that Mauritius is ready and able to provide services to the silver economy market segment. However, participants who joined online from Rodrigues highlighted the island’s limitations to effectively attract such a market, as Rodrigues itself relies on Mauritius for more complex medical services and is mainly dependent on public health services.

A recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) study outlines that the quality of healthcare of a tourist destination will be pivotal in its post-pandemic tourism recovery. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the way decisions are made regarding travel and tourism has been altered, and destinations need to quickly adjust their offer. One solution for Mauritius is to invest in innovative technologies to digitalise healthcare and healthcare systems and bolster our local capacity to deal with health issues facing tourists in a quick and effective manner. A new government project involving the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the UNDP on the long-term Digital Health Transformation Strategy Framework brings a lot of hope. However, increased partnerships and synergies between the public and private sectors are required to enhance the overall offer of the country in terms of healthcare.

Metro Express is an example of improved inclusive mobility and of decarbonized public transport infrastructure.

Improving the local mobility infrastructure

During the conversations, it became clear that tackling health infrastructure alone is not enough. Ensuring the resilience of the new local tourism model will require more adaptation as tourist behaviour and consumption patterns are changing. For example, UNWTO identifies accessible and inclusive mobility as a new gamechanger for destinations. To this end, the participants stressed on the importance of improving the local mobility infrastructure, which is currently 99% motorised and not adapted to people with disabilities.

The repurposing of road spaces was mentioned as a solution that could become a reality via public-private financing mechanisms. Moreover, additional efforts are needed on decarbonising the (public) transportation system while ensuring accessibility. To this end, a new budget has been announced by the Government, financing a ’10-year Electric Vehicle Integration Roadmap’ .

Regarding the necessity to adapt infrastructure to the silver economy, some participants mentioned ‘tourist villages’ with integrated services such as accommodation, medical, transportation, outdoor activities, culinary experiences, meet-the-locals, etc. The Republic of Mauritius needs interconnected, integrated and inclusive policies that have the potential to build on the current momentum to do things differently.

Stay tuned for the next blog where we will share insights on our second hypothesis during this two-day dialogue on the integration of artisanal fishing in the local tourism value chain.

Mauritius: Horizon Scanning 2022

Africa connected: issue 7, what is the current investment appetite in the region.

In Mauritius, the investment appetite has been on a decline and it was further shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, gross direct investment stood at MUR21 billion and for the first three quarters of 2020 it stood at MUR9 billion 1 . However, it is expected that there will be a positive change in this declining trend as boosting the country’s investment has been identified as a major pillar of the 2021/2022 budget. Around MUR142 billion has been committed under the Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP) for the next three years and the Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021 has brought new amendments with the potential to boost private investment and attract FDI to Mauritius.

To improve the investment climate and ease of doing business in Mauritius, a premium investor certificate has been created that allows companies investing more than MUR500 million to benefit from wide-ranging incentives such as tax, infrastructure and public facilities and duties. This could potentially attract multinational companies to set up in Mauritius to benefit from the trade agreements Mauritius has signed. In fact, 2021 was a landmark year, with four trade agreements coming into operation – the CECPA with India, the China FTA, the UK-ESA Agreement and the African Continental Free Trade Agreement.

An export development certificate has also been introduced to incentivise companies to set up in Mauritius to export goods. More attractive incentives have been added to the tax regime such as dividends paid by a non-resident to another non-resident not being taxable in Mauritius and investment dealers now being covered under the partial exemption regime under the Income Tax Act. Immigration laws have also been amended to further open Mauritius to foreigners and investors. The validity of an occupation permit for a professional has been extended from three to ten years.

It is expected that the abovementioned changes will enhance the business climate in Mauritius, boosting investments in 2022.

In which sectors do you expect to see increased investment and/or financial movement in the next 18 months?

As the government has embarked on putting Mauritius on the path of recovery from the negative fallout of COVID-19, it is expected that there will be increased investment in infrastructure projects, more specifically in road and land transport, some of which had been halted due to the lockdown.Under the Public Sector Investment Programme, the government plans to invest MUR50 billion in social and economic infrastructure for 2021/2022. Some of the major road and land transport projects include the completion of the Metro Express and the construction of bypasses and fly-overs on the M1 motorway.

Investment in public infrastructure will help build long-term resilience, widen opportunities, stimulate job creation, facilitate trade and contribute to improving the quality of life in Mauritius.

Where do you see the key areas of growth or opportunity for businesses?

An emerging area of growth for businesses in Mauritius is the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector. In the 2021/2022 budget, the government announced wide-ranging incentives to encourage companies to build factories for manufacturing pharmaceutical products and medical devices. In fact, all companies operating in the industry will be eligible for the premium investor certificate (as mentioned above). The tax rate for these companies will be significantly lower, namely 3% instead of 15%, and they will benefit from a series of additional incentives such as exemption of the registration, land conversion and transfer tax and payment of VAT on construction materials.

Which sectors have been most affected by COVID-19 and what have businesses in those sectors done to cope with these changes or potentially benefit from new opportunities?

Mauritius’ travel and tourism industry has been the hardest hit sector due to international travel bans and border closures. The businesses affected include not only those in the hotel industry but all ancillary businesses to the tourism sector such as restaurants, tour operators, travel agencies and shopping malls. As the tourism industry contributes about 20% of the country’s GDP and is labour-intensive, the negative impact has unfortunately translated into a massive loss of jobs and a decline in foreign exchange in the country.

The sector has benefitted from an extended government wage assistance scheme and is still on “life support” from the government. Many hotels provided their premises as quarantine centres and received an income from the government, though it could not compensate fully for their losses. During the period between the two waves of the pandemic in Mauritius (from July 2020 to February 2021), when Mauritius was “COVID-19 safe,” many hotels relied on domestic tourism by offering attractive packages to Mauritians. While the industry has opened up 14 hotels since mid-July 2021 as “bubble resorts” to fully vaccinated international tourists. It is expected the future of the tourism industry will be different and it will take some time before it regains momentum. The mindset, attitudes and inclinations of travellers have undoubtedly changed with the pandemic.

In terms of the legal services market, what areas growth are you seeing on the horizon in the next 18 months?

In the last year, the number of employment-related matters has grown since the enactment of scattered amendments to employment laws. Different regulations mandating COVID-19 vaccination in certain sectors have provoked uncertainties for employers and employees alike. Services have been retained on matters ranging from advising on issues such as mandating vaccination and testing to access to the workplace, discrimination with respect to mandatory vaccination, employees’ leave and remuneration during periods of self-isolation and drafting vaccination policies. As businesses had to quickly implement new systems to shift to remote working, many frauds and scams have been perpetrated by employees and consequently there has been a surge in requests to assist employers with disciplinary hearings. There has been an increase in insolvency and administration disputes, including between businesses and contractual disputes between promoters, contractors and buyers under construction or preliminary reservation contracts that have been compromised because of the unprecedented circumstances brought by the pandemic. Several companies are seeking advice on their winding up or removal.

In terms of the legal services in the near future, an increased demand in anti-money laundering / combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regulatory work is expected, following increased regulations applying to regulated entities. In connection with the government’s aim to significantly increase (from 13% to 60%) the share of renewables in the energy mix, there will be opportunities to advise sponsors, developers and financiers on transactions across the spectrum of renewable energy technologies, including hydro, solar and biomass.

Given the recent measures in the 2021/2022 budget to boost financial services in Mauritius, there will be a good pipeline of activity in corporate work, especially in the field of capital markets given that new legislation is being contemplated by the government such as a securitisation bill, a new securities bill and a new legislation for virtual assets. This legislation will reinforce the country’s position as a fintech hub following the recent introduction of new peer-to-peer lending rules and rules on crowdfunding.

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions.

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers.

Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.

The Future of Tourism in Mauritius in a Post-Pandemic World

' src=

By Bhawna Ahuja, IndraStra Global

In late June 2022, Mauritius, one of the most sought-after honeymoon destinations in the world, finally lifted several COVID-19 restrictions to boost tourism in the country.

This island nation in the Indian Ocean is renowned for its pristine beaches, secluded islands, and luxurious hotels.

By July 1, all the strict health protocols in place during the pandemic were finally lifted. Also, over 90% of the population has had two doses of vaccination, and around two-thirds of adults over 18 have received booster shots.

Even before the island-wise lockdown was implemented, there were already indications that the pandemic was harming the tourism industry in Mauritius.

The virus dampened people’s enthusiasm for traveling worldwide and caused several businesses, including hotels, travel agencies, and guesthouses, to shut their doors for an extended period.

The lockdown in Mauritius, which began in the middle of March 2020 and continued until the middle of June 2020, worsened the situation. As a result, the tourism industry braced the brunt of a severe slowdown. 

The Data and Assessment

According to  Statistics Mauritius , compared to January to September 2019, the total number of tourist arrivals in 2020 fell by 68.6%; those arriving by air saw a decrease of 70.9%, while those arriving by sea saw an increase of 16.2%. The number of tourists visiting France, the country with the highest revenue from tourism, fell by 60.9% in the first nine months of 2020. 

The list includes the countries among the leading markets where sales were down;

  • The People’s Republic of China (down 85.4%)
  • India (down 78.1%), 
  • The Republic of South Africa (down 77.6%)
  • United Kingdom (down 77.6%)
  • Reunion Island (down 69.1%), and 
  • Germany (down 59.5%)

Despite this slowdown, Mauritius is still a robust tourism-dependent economy, and the sector has emerged as an essential engine of growth over the last decades. The tourism sector is a significant source of employment, government revenue, and foreign exchange earnings for the island’s economy.

Without this vital lifeline, Mauritius will likely experience a dramatic contraction in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a rise in unemployment.

Before the pandemic, tourism was doing relatively well, with favorable growth rates. It contributed 8.1 percent to GDP, with around 1,383,488 tourist arrivals recorded during 2019. 

The real GDP increased by 4% in 2021, as reported by the  International Monetary Fund’s (IMF’s) most recent Article IV Executive Board Consultation , which took place on June 15, 2022. This was because many industries returned to their pre-pandemic levels of economic activity, whereas the tourism industry continued to struggle.

In light of these circumstances, the current account deficit ballooned to far larger groups. IMF Staff projects real GDP growth of 6.1 percent in 2022. The tourism sector expects an economic rebound, with tourist arrivals expected at 60 percent of pre-pandemic levels.

Way Forward

COVID-19 brought to light Mauritius’s urgent need to investigate the additional potential in its tourism industry.

As the pandemic is receding worldwide, the island nation has to strengthen its competitiveness and resilience. And to facilitate the tourism industry’s recovery and reconsider the industry’s future in light of the new climate created by COVID-19, policymakers need to concentrate on developing an action plan and a long-term strategy.

This can be achieved through greater market diversification, such as attracting  senior citizens  (to retire) and  digital nomads  (to work from anywhere), which are attractive but distinct market categories. 

Such categories should get support from world-class tourist healthcare and inclusive mobility infrastructure; duly linked with sustainable concepts such as  “carbon-neutral tourism.”

In short, it should be a collection of integrated services such as accommodation, medical, transportation, outdoor activities, culinary experiences, meet-the-locals, etc. — making it easier for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, which require more substantial support and specific programs customized to their requirements, to operate in a conducive business environment.

Therefore, coordination and concerted action across all aspects of the travel and tourist ecosystem are required to revitalize the industry.
