Situated in the Indian Ocean and small in size, the island of Mauritius is known for its natural beauty which is a major tourist attraction. Agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and services are the economic backbones. In recent times the economy of this nation has been booming, what with diversification and an effective, politically stable government. This boom and diversification are quite impressive for a small island as when compared with other countries.
During the fast years, Mauritius has diversified a lot from a dependent based agricultural system to tourism and textile sector. This transition was possible by diversification and the importance of education for which the Government has played a great role. Mauritius has got only one valuable resource that is rendering the prosperity of the country which is its population. With no natural gifts as resources, it is amazing how fast Mauritius is evolving with its population as only resource.
