Prior to the onset of the global pandemic, Western Europe was by far the largest region for inbound visitors to Mauritius, with France and the UK the leading individual source markets. However, the economic situation in these two countries, including uncertainty surrounding Brexit, made consumers more cautious with their spending, resulting in weaker growth in arrivals in Mauritius in 2019. This was not helped by the fact that Mauritius is perceived as a luxury destination.
