Beachcomber to build new Mauritius hotel

BEACHCOMBER Tours
will soon welcome
a ninth hotel to its
Mauritius portfolio.
Speaking at the Flight
Centre Travel Group
Leadership Conference held
at the Sun City Convention
Centre, Terry Munro, md of
Beachcomber Tours, said
an influx of bookings had
prompted this decision.
Terry says Beachcomber
Tours saw a 56% increase
in bookings in January and
a 23% increase in February
compared with the same
periods last year. He says
the company will hopefully
start building the new hotel
next year and that it should
take about two years to
complete.
Terry says the strong
rand had a lot to do with
Beachcomber Tours’ influx
of bookings. “Coupled with
the popularity of Mauritius,
this created a new spark
in sales. Customers also
say they love that they can
budget accurately with the
fully inclusive options that
we offer.”
Beachcomber Tours’ plans
for a ninth Mauritius hotel
are still under way, with
building contracts yet to
be approved. The company
will announce when
construction has started
and when travel agents can
start booking.
