If you are planning for a vacation or a business trip, then we prefer to save as much money as we can in the entire trip. After all, it’s a matter of our hard earned money.

According to Dr John Murton, the relationship between the UK and Mauritius is cordial and they have very strong links. Many of the people here even have cultural links. There’s equally a historic link valued by people from all walks of life. Most of the ministers Dr John Murton met have had the benefit of education in the UK at some point in their career. And this great.” Many of the things happening in Mauritius Island, he thinks, are influenced by British Educational thought; so also are, in some ways, many of the political, social, cultural, economic and other policy decisions. The UK is very much present in the life of the people. Even trade and investment, Dr John Murton adds, between the two countries are vibrant. UK is still one of the biggest partners and investment from the UK here is quite significant, and is growing. New investments continue to come in. Later this year, Virgin Atlantic Airline will be here. It will be very good for Mauritius. It will bring Mauritius a little closer to UK.
