Destination Guide

Mauritius offers hospitality, tourism, food and beverage, retail, finance, technology and marine-related job opportunities, particularly around major resorts and towns such as Grand Baie, Port Louis, Flic-en-Flac and Ebene. The culture blends African, Indian, Chinese, French and Creole influences, reflected in its languages, festivals and cuisine. Life is generally relaxed, with beaches, hiking, water sports and a warm tropical climate, though imported goods and accommodation in popular areas can be expensive. Foreign workers normally need an approved work permit or Occupation Permit arranged with their employer before starting work; requirements vary by nationality, salary and job type.
