Welcome to MTPA’s UK monthly newsletter. We have a lot of exciting news to share with you...
November saw the return of World Travel Market and this month MTPA was exhibiting at the flagship trade event, with three busy and successful days completed. It was fantastic to have so many Mauritius suppliers exhibiting with us and tour operators visiting the stand, and we hope that all of you that attended had a productive few days of meetings and networking. In Mauritius, there is plenty of product news to share in this edition as we enter peak summer season. Hotel renovations and re-openings, increased transportation and product development means there has never been a better time to send your customers to Mauritius!

LUX* Le Morne

Today, the traditional bread of our ancestors comes in various shapes and surprising flavors from the passion of the new bakers for this extraordinary food.

This common passion, this desire to innovate through tradition and to share their love of good things, beautiful products and good bread, obviously push them to combine their talents, providing you with a unique experience combining bread and contemporary cuisine.
