Sustainable Island VisionA guideline for circular economies |
Mauritius aims to limit the negative impacts on the environment and encourage sustainable products and services in the tourism sector.
The Ministry of Tourism launched their new vision in 2018 to promote sustainable tourism through demonstrating and scaling up self sustaining mechanisms for improving the sustainability impact along the value train.
The vision resulted in the Mauritius Pro-Handprint (MauPHI) Framework, that includes 11 distinct criteria to encourage sustainable packaging within the value chain and new formal regulations that ban plastic bags and single use plastics within the food business sectors effective as of January 2021.
