Growth is good; sustainable growth is better; sustainable and inclusive growth is best of all – absolute nirvana. Is it attainable? Here in Mauritius, with our population of only 1.3 million, and a policy environment never trailing too far behind best practice, we could have a stab at it.
We can boast about having one of the most diversified and rich ecological systems in the World in flora and fauna. Five large islands with several hundred small ones of unspoiled white beaches, outstanding sceneries of high mountains, fast flowing rivers, swamps and thousands of kilometers of waterways.
