A few hundred meters from the new Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam international airport, the Holiday Inn Mauritius Airport (HIMA) is accessible by free 24-hour shuttles and offers a Limousine service which takes customers directly to Port Louis, or to the " Cyber ​​Cité Ebène ”, according to their wishes. This resolutely contemporary 24-star establishment pays particular tribute to the pioneers of aviation. His restaurant was baptized "4", the year of the first landing of an airplane in Mauritius. Built in a green setting in the middle of the large flamboyant typical of the Mauritian coast, customers forget that they are only two minutes from the airport. Perfectly soundproofed, the HIMA is outside the noise pollution zone. On the terrace elegantly bordered by a green wall, they access the outdoor swimming pool and can also join the Fitness Club or relax at the Spa. The decoration of the hotel is in the spirit of the “beach resorts” of Mauritius to ensure a total change of scenery for an evening or for several days. It favors clean forms, comfort and simplicity. The 1933 rooms, including nine suites, combine lagoon blue and shades of green from the sugar cane fields as a reminder of the wonderful surrounding nature. HIMA is nevertheless a real business hotel with its 140 m450 of modular conference rooms, from a simple office to a reception hall for 2 people. It is equipped with all the latest high-tech equipment: HD videoconferencing, free high-speed Wi-Fi, televisions receiving 250 international channels, multiple connections… Customers who choose HIMA, labeled "Green Engage", have the assurance of being in an establishment committed to sustainable development. They are thus helping to reduce the hotel's energy consumption by 30%, thanks in particular to solar energy.

New airport city by the sea

For its part, Mon Trésor Airport City is a vast land project located near the airport which should soon take shape in the immediate vicinity on an area of ​​400 hectares. This modern tool aims to facilitate the economic development of the Island and to open an air bridge to African countries and the rest of the world. This project is aptly named, because it constitutes, according to its initiators, a real "Treasure" for Mauritius. Providing a living environment and professional activities of international level, it should become a source of future wealth and jobs for the whole country and for its population. The Mon Trésor Airport City (MTAC) master plan benefits from the financial support of the European Investment Bank (EIB). It is designed thanks to the expertise of the Dutch company Royal HaskoningDHV with the collaboration of Architects Studio from Mauritius. My Treasury was the subject of sustained consultations with all stakeholders in the region and with government authorities. This ambitious project will transform the southern part of Mauritius. It is part of a development period of 50 years. Mon Trésor Airport City will be the showcase of a high environmental quality achievement thanks to its energetic efficiency which is based in particular on water savings and the use of renewable energies. This new city will benefit from a privileged setting, on the edge of the airport area and its promoters have stated that they intend to preserve the soul and values ​​of the country. The beaches will be laid out on the Cambuse coast, endowed with royal palm trees, which is the green lung of Mon Trésor. On the historic site of Mare-aux-songes where the first bones of the Dodo were discovered will be created a park on the theme of this mythical bird of Mauritius unfortunately today disappeared.

The “City” will offer companies specific areas of establishment, in particular for light industries, technology activities, logistics as well as a business center equipped with offices for the tertiary sector. It will be the center of international business conventions and congresses through the development of MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions). My Treasure will also include a village, hotels, leisure and sport areas, medium and high-end residential dwellings, shops, a golf course, a cultural center ... In the minds of its designers, it should obviously have everything you could dream of to work and live happily in this new airport city located by the sea.

Mauritius, an attractive country for investors

Mon Trésor Airport City, a real "Business Hub", should also attract many foreign investors thanks to the quality of its infrastructure and its particularly favorable tax regime. Not only has Mauritius signed a non-double taxation treaty with around thirty countries including France, but the tax rate on companies and on personal income is capped at 15%. In addition, there is no wealth tax, dividend tax, capital gains and inheritance tax. The repatriation of dividends and capital is not taxed. Mauritius does not require taxpayers to place their money in a local financial institution. Mauritius is a treasure island which obviously has a lot of arguments…
