The Mauritius safari and holidays market is set for a boost over the coming years following the announcement of a new stream of investment.
Mauritius' Board of Investment announced that a company owned by the ruler of Dubai plans to invest $250 million (£123.8 million) in sectors including the country's tourism industry, Reuters reports.
A statement from Soud Ba'alawy, executive chairman of Dubai Group, published on the investment board's website, suggested that this financing could be a sign of things to come.
"This is just the beginning," he said. "We see Mauritius also serving as a platform for our regional investments."
Earlier this month Dubai World announced that it would boost the accessibility of holidays to Mauritius by investing $70 million in a new hotel.
Mauritius offers a range of geographical attractions and points of interest to its visitors, including the Black River Gorges National Park and Grand Bassin, a lake situated in a secluded mountain area in the district of Savanne.
