Officials from all three organisations expressed confidence that the partnership will drive sustained demand and reinforce Mauritius as a year-round destination for Indian travellers
Thomas Cook (India) Limited and its group company SOTC Travel Limited have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) to strengthen Mauritius’ presence in the fast-growing Indian travel market. The partnership aims to increase awareness of the island nation and attract more Indian travellers across leisure, business and experiential segments.
The agreement was signed by senior representatives from Thomas Cook India, SOTC Travel and the MTPA, marking a long-term collaboration focused on destination promotion, product development and integrated marketing campaigns across India’s major cities and emerging regional markets.
Mauritius is widely known for its beaches, lagoons and natural beauty, but the new partnership seeks to highlight its broader appeal
This includes its rich Creole culture, diverse religious traditions, colourful festivals and distinctive cuisine, which resonate strongly with Indian visitors. Close cultural ties, visa-free entry, short flight times and a wide range of resorts from luxury to value-focused options make Mauritius an attractive choice for Indian tourists.
The destination is also gaining popularity as a venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE). World-class convention facilities, luxury resorts with meeting infrastructure and unique team-building experiences set in scenic surroundings are helping Mauritius position itself as a corporate travel hub.
Through this collaboration, Thomas Cook India and SOTC plan to use their extensive distribution networks and digital platforms to promote Mauritius across metro cities as well as Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. The focus will be on honeymoons, multi-generational family holidays, millennials and Gen Z travellers, as well as corporate groups.
