An increasing number of local hotels have employed Chinese speaking staff to offer better experiences for Chinese tourists, says Jocelyn Kwok, director of the Mauritius hotel association.

Chinese foods have been added to the menu.

Family, honeymoon, outdoor sports and golf-themed tours are what Mauritius aims to promote in the Chinese market, according to the Mauritius authority.

The country is also looking to woo more Chinese guests for meetings, incentive travel, conventions and exhibitions (MICE).

Mauritius' clean air and white beaches create a superb natural environment.

The island's unique animals and vegetation, aboriginal culture and history also draw in visitors from China.

In addition, the country has regularly hosted various festivals and events.

Thrilling outdoors programs have also been held to cater to the needs of those with an adventurous spirit.
