Resort jobs are concentrated around the east, north and west coasts, while Port Louis is the main business centre. The culture blends Indian, Creole, African, Chinese and European influences, with English and French widely used and Mauritian Creole common in daily life. The lifestyle is relaxed and outdoor-oriented, with beaches, hiking, water sports, markets and a warm climate, although imported goods and housing in popular areas can be expensive.
