A mature resort market
Mauritius records more than 1.4 million tourist arrivals a year, and arrivals from the Middle East are rising, supported by daily flights from Dubai and regular service from Jeddah.
Much of the island's resort stock is mature, which makes repositioning and renovation as important as new development. The question for an owner is often which asset to buy or reposition, and under which brand.
Why owners in Mauritius use an independent advisor
Whether the project is a new resort or a repositioning, the owner is usually dealing with an international operator, a local contractor and a long-term contract. An owner's-side advisor keeps all three working to the owner's brief and budget.
