Hotel Missoni Mauritius is located just 40 minutes from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and 50 minutes from the islands capital Port Louis.
Mauritius was an important sugar producer until the 1980s when tourism developed as a major economic sector, followed by textile and garment manufacturing and by an expanding service sector with off shore banking, free trade activities, IT and outsourcing. The number of tourist arrivals reached 935,000 visitors in 2010 - the government plans to further increase arrivals (a new airport terminal is currently under construction, and new airlines and routes are under negotiation) and to focus on high quality tourism products such as 4- and 5-star hotels.
