Welcome to MTPA’s UK monthly newsletter. We have a lot of exciting news to share with you...
As the year draws to a close this marks a perfect opportunity to celebrate the year just past and look forward to what lies ahead. 2017 has been a hugely successful year for MTPA and we would like to thank all of the trade for contributing to this year's success. As of the end of November, current visitor figures from the UK are 4% up versus 2016 so we are well on track to finish another year with positive growth and we expect this to continue into 2018, a year of great importance to Mauritius being the 50th Anniversary of Independence.
We wish all of you a very Happy Christmas and we look forward to continuing to work closely with you to support and grow your Mauritius sales into the New Year.

The second came from the MCB Tour Championship winner, Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant, who's overall score of -23 set the new record, the former being -15.

A celebrated virtuoso at Heritage Le Chateau
There is no shortage of tables, restaurants or bars across the Domaine; yet, none of them embarks foodies on a culinary and gastronomic journey quite like the summer menu curated by David Toutain for Château de Bel Ombre. Before immersing himself in such refined decor, this masterchef garnered a wealth of experiences, beginning with an internship with Bernard Loiseau, three years as a sous-chef at Alain Passard, Pierre Gagnaire, Bernard Pacaud and finally Marc Veyrat. Could it get any better? A skilled technician, David Toutain spared no effort at acclaimed venues in Spain and New York. This speaks volumes about his sense of openness and otherness. Awarded a Michelin star in 2015, four "toques" at Gault & Millau in 2017 and elected Chef of the Year by the Pudlowski Guide, David Toutain relays his passion for new flavors to the Château. What a chance!
