Beachcomber recently hosted two groups of agents on educational trips to Mauritius.

Agents immersed themselves in the culture and natural beauty of the island while exploring the Beachcomber properties.

The first group’s trip itinerary included time in Port Louis, tasting local street food and shopping at the waterfront. They visited the historic Citadel, with panoramic views of the city and harbour, and La Rhumerie de Chamarel for rum tasting. On a sunset cruise from Victoria, the group swam with dolphins. They met the Minister of Tourism, Richard Duval, who highlighted the importance of agents’ role in promoting Mauritius.

Agents experienced the Beachcomber lifestyle at the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury, Paradis, Dinarobin and Shandrani resorts.

On the other educational, agents visited Beachcomber’s eight resorts, building relationships with the management teams and playing padel on the resorts’ new courts. The group also had the opportunity to meet the Minister of Tourism.

The itinerary included visits to the Black River Gorge, Seven Coloured Earth and Port Louis.
