Mauritius received 19,000 Chinese tourists in 2012 and is expected to receive 90,000 Chinese tourists this year as visa exemptions for Chinese citizens took effect on October 31, 2013.
More than 30 Chinese companies, including telecommunications giants Huawei and ZTE, have set up their African headquarters in the island country.
