Mauritius to host 3rd annual API Mauritius & Indian Ocean property investment forum, highlighting sustainable tourism leadership

MAURITIUS – Mauritius has established itself as a leader in sustainable tourism and hospitality development across the Indian Ocean region, a focus that will be central at the upcoming 3rd Annual API Mauritius & Indian Ocean Property Investment Forum scheduled for June 26, 2025.

The forum will provide a key platform for industry leaders, investors, developers, and government officials to discuss growth opportunities, investment challenges, and innovative partnerships shaping the future of hospitality in Mauritius and the wider region.

The event is expected to draw over 350 delegates from at least 10 countries, featuring more than 60 speakers across 12 sessions.

Topics will include sustainable master planning, hospitality innovation, capital markets, AI applications in real estate, and senior living solutions.

This comprehensive agenda reflects the dynamic and evolving nature of the hospitality sector in the Indian Ocean.

Mauritius’s reputation as a “Green Destination” is supported by strong government initiatives and industry commitments aimed at promoting eco-friendly practices.

These include policies to reduce single-use plastics, increase renewable energy adoption, encourage local sourcing, and support eco-certifications such as Green Globe, which several leading resorts on the island have achieved.

These actions demonstrate the island’s dedication to reducing environmental impact while enhancing visitor experience.

The government’s 2025-2029 development agenda places sustainability at its core, with ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, lower energy consumption by 25%, and cut waste generation by 30% within the accommodation sector by 2030.

These efforts are complemented by real estate developments that emphasize green building standards and environmental responsibility, helping to position Mauritius as a global example of sustainable tourism.

The forum will also explore investment opportunities in eco-certified hotels, smart resorts, and integrated community projects, reflecting growing investor interest in sustainable hospitality ventures.

This aligns with forecasts that Mauritius will exceed pre-pandemic tourist arrival levels by 2025, driven by its strong regulatory framework and commitment to sustainable growth.

As Mauritius prepares to host this important gathering, the forum is set to reinforce the island’s role as a model for sustainable tourism in the Indian Ocean, fostering collaboration and innovation to ensure long-term economic, environmental, and social benefits for the region.
