Mauritius: Africa’s Most Overcrowded Paradise Faces Surging Tourist Influx

Tourists continue to pour into Mauritius which stands as an island-nation admired for its beautiful beaches and green scenery. Tourism brings visitors from around the world to this paradise but Mauritius now ranks first in population density across Africa replacing Rwanda.

According to Statista data, Mauritius stands ahead of the UK with 641 residents per square kilometer compared to 279 residents per square kilometer. Every year more visitors arrive at the island along with its permanent residents so they push the environment and infrastructure to their limits. The island’s appeal does not diminish despite heavy visitor numbers since it still offers everything vacationers search for in a destination.

Visitors come to Mauritius because of its scenic beaches and underwater marine environments. Le Morne Beach became a UNESCO site because it offers visitors the best place to watch dolphins and whales swim by from its stunning ocean views. People who love nature discover their ideal retreat at Black River Gorges National Park to experience local forests and paths plus the special animals found only on Mauritius.

The island operates a well-established tourism business that serves elite guests with outstanding luxury hotel services. More guests worry both natural resources and how tourism may be managed responsibly. Eco-focused groups make sure Mauritius develops income possibilities for tourism without damaging the environment.
