There are most visitors to Mauritius from Europe because of the change in climate. Europe tends to have an average climate that doesn’t remain constant throughout the year. Mauritius has a constant climate which is hot with little rain. This results in Europeans tending to visit in the winter months because they are guaranteed to have decent weather. few people come from Africa and Asia because they have a very similar climate to Mauritius and they these places don’t have good transport links and also have very little money. Americans have a range of different climates within their country and so don’t need to go away from America to experience different climates.

Mauritius depends greatly on the money raised from tourism for the economy. The money is needed greatly because Mauritius is a 3 rd world country which is developing and to do so money is needed. Tourism makes up 13% of Mauritius’ earnings per year. Due to Mauritius being a 3 rd world country poverty still occurs there. By decreasing the levels of tourism the levels of poverty would also be increased. This is not good at all. Mauritius also wants tourism because the money from it will help to build new houses for people who do not yet have one. Also tourism is more helpful to Mauritius when it is sustained.
