Mauritian economy is based on two things: tourism and sugar cane, and as a visitor, chances are you will spend most of your time near the golden sand beaches, rimmed with palm trees, or in the warm water. A visit to the capital, Port Louis, also affords the opportunity to shop at the markets, explore history and culture, and meet the locals.
