The Deputy Prime Minister of Mauritius inaugurates RIU’s two new hotels in this destination
The
event, which took place at the Riu Palace Mauritius, was attended by the Deputy
Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism of Mauritius, Louis Steven Obeegadoo, as
well as the RIU executive directors Joan Trian Riu and Carles Madrenas and
RIU’s Managing Director in Mauritius, Kris Seeboo.
The
ceremony brought together more than 50 guests, including prominent figures and
representatives from various Mauritian government bodies, the media and members
of the RIU chain.
After
cutting the ribbon, Kris Seboo welcomed and thanked those present. His words
were followed by a speech from Joan Trian Riu, who said: “We are proud to
inaugurate these two new hotels that today present all the innovations in
service and sustainability that Riu has been working on in recent years. And
even more so in such a privileged location as Le Morne”. He also underlined
“the commitment that Mauritius is making to develop a quality and sustainable
tourism offer”.
The
Deputy Prime Minister highlighted: “The investment in these two new hotels is a
symbol of RIU’s trust in Africa and especially in Mauritius. RIU not only
invested in new facilities but also in sustainability measures that make the
new hotels fit in the vision of green and eco-friendly tourism that we have for
Mauritius. In terms of numbers in the industry, we are doing better than in
2019 and I believe this year will be a record. So, this investment comes at a
very appropriate time since our economy is doing well thanks, in great extent,
to tourism. Congratulations on these openings and thank you for your trust in
Mauritius”.
The
event was drawn to a close with a cocktail party in the hotel's Lobby Bar to
officially mark the start of RIU’s new chapter in Mauritius.
With 310
rooms, the Riu Palace Mauritius promises an unparalleled experience
for anyone looking for the utmost comfort and exclusive services in a
spectacular natural environment. The exclusive Elite Club service
offers guests the opportunity to book a luxury experience with rooms in a
privileged location. The 390-room Riu Turquoise was
designed to offer families, couples or groups of friends an unforgettable
experience. What’s more, all guests can enjoy a wide range of dining options,
including the Indian restaurant ‘Bangalore’. The two hotels are also the
chain’s most energy efficient establishments thanks to the 2,418 solar
panels installed on their roofs.
The
opening and inauguration of these establishments, which are overlooked by the
impressive Le Morne Brabant, reaffirm the hotel chain’s commitment to excellent
service in this wonderful destination.
