Another operator enters Mauritius maket

PERFECT Destinations
started offering
Mauritius as part of its
portfolio of destinations at
the beginning of October.
“There was a marked
increase in requests
from agents to Perfect
Destinations to start selling
Mauritius, and we reacted to
the demand,” says director
Zephnie Viljoen.
Mauritius is a relatively
overtraded destination in the
South African tour operator
market, but according
to md, Shona Pittaway,
Perfect Destinations has
carved a niche through its
personalised service to
travel agents and the tour
operator’s availability to
travel agents. “We build oneon-one
relationships with
travel agents and encourage
direct and dedicated
relationships between travel
agents and our consultants.”
Shona says Perfect
Destinations also sets
itself apart by evaluating
each client’s needs and
matching a hotel accordingly.
“We will never push one
hotel on to a client out of
convenience, but will instead
use our expertise to match
the perfect hotel to that
specific client. We have a
few extremely well-skilled
Mauritius specialists on our
team, with one of our team
members even having been
to Mauritius over 42 times.
With the rest of the team,
we have also done extensive
site training.”
Perfect Destinations will
also start offering Mauritius
educationals for agents in
the near future.
