Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius. : Stop building hotels on our coast.

There are only 29 kilometers of public beaches left out of the 300 kilometers of coast line.In 2008 the hotel industry employed 22,314 people in 2013 it employed 22,211 . Mauritius Vision 2020 released in May 1997 by the first Ramgoolam government – what it said back then on tourism "Over-development would destroy this appeal, threaten the ecology of the lagoons, and deprive Mauritians of a proper share of their own beaches. Accordingly it has been estimated that total capacity can be increased from the present 5,300 hotel rooms only to a maximum of 9,000 rooms. Beyond this ’green ceiling’, increased earnings will have to come, not from higher numbers, but from higher spending per visitor, with still higher standards of provision and a wider range of activities, including, perhaps, inland and eco-tourism" Today there are 12,300 Rooms.
Instead of building hotels why not encourage authentic guest houses in the villages so that the the people earn the money and not cheap salaries and odd working hours that most hotels offer.
