Mauritius is a small island in the Indian Ocean with a land area of just 2000km2. The Mauritian economy is dominated by the tertiary sector. In 2017, tourism, finance and other services accounted for 74 per cent of total national output (gross domestic product). In contrast, the secondary sector accounted for 22 per cent and primary industries – mainly sugar production – just 4 per cent.

These tourists spend a great deal of money on food, drink, travel and holiday gifts.
