Why Mauritius?
Mauritius is situated at approximately 2000 kilometers to the south-eastern coast of Africa and lies east of Madagascar on 20°S, 57.5°E. The land has an area of 1865 square kilometers with 330 kilometers of coastline. Inland features include a vast central plateau, subtropical forests, rivers, streams and waterfalls. Bordering this tableland are several mountain ranges consisting of diverse shaped masses of basalt testifying the volcanic origins of the island.
Mauritius is a crucible of diverse cultures and religious which our immigrant population brought from ancestral soils. Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism are the most practiced religions. All year long their festivities are celebrated in peace and harmony. The country today is recognized cultural melting pot and is often cited as a perfect example of peaceful coexistence of the main religions of the world.

Hi Patrice, Thank you for all your support with CEO Circle 2016. We have had some fantastic feedback from guests and will have more detailed feedback when we get the results from the on-line survey that Sarah will send out in the next few days. If we have any feedback pertaining to the off-site activities or transportation, I’ll share it with you. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you on this event and everything ran like clockwork.
