Ministry of Tourism (Mauritius)

The Ministry of Tourism is a ministry in the government of Mauritius responsible for planning and adopting policies and legislation in relation to tourism within Mauritius. The ministry, which oversees an integral part of the Mauritian economy, also ensures and implements standards within the tourism sector with focus on sustainable development.

The tourism portfolio has existed since 1968 under the foreign ministry as External Affairs, Tourism and Emigration. However, it was not until 1991 that the tourism portfolio was given its own separate ministry, independent from others, which continues to this day. Richard Duval is the incumbent minister of tourism, having been appointed on 22 November 2024. The junior minister, Sydney Pierre, was also appointed on the same day with responsibility to assist the minister.
