NO The overall objective of SUS-ISLAND is to promote sustainable tourism in Mauritiusby demonstrating and scaling up a self-sustaining mechanism for improvingsustainability impacts along the value chain, and improving awareness and market ofsustainable tourism products.Leveraging the significant role played by TOs as one of the major economic agents ofmass tourism, SUS-ISLAND intends to position Mauritius as a sustainability beaconamong the Vanilla Islands.Specifically, SUS-ISLAND will support TOs and their suppliers to develop, promote andscale up sustainable tourism innovation, which reduces their respective value chainfootprints (negative sustainability impacts, e.g. resource and energy consumption,pollution etc.), improves handprints (positive sustainability impacts, including greenjobs generation, local community empowerment, sustainability awareness, quality oflife etc.) and improves tourists’ satisfaction. SUS-ISLAND, therefore, contributes toexpanding both the supply and demand of sustainable tourism products.
