Abstract | Africa is viewed as the next business frontier worldwide. In the last decade, we have been witnessing increased investment operations in Africa by US, Chinese, Japanese and European companies. The restrictions of African agricultural production and tourism as a prosperous industry are possible to overcome. The future prospects are favorable. The economy of Mauritius is based on sugar, tourism, textiles and apparel, and financial services, and is rapidly expanding into fish processing, ICT, hospitality and property development. The aim of this paper examines the environment for developing agro and tourism business in Mauritius, which in turn strengthens the private sector. It also identifies opportunities that can stimulate the countries’ broader reform efforts with the ultimate goal of poverty reduction. |
