MAURITIUS - Peel back the beach vibes, and there's more to Mauritius than being a premier holiday destination.
Like a dark history, marked by overcoming colonialism and slavery. It's a part of the tropical island its residents wish more people knew about.
And the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority is using the International Creole Festival as one of the vehicles to drive this message.
It recently hosted 20 journalists from 13 countries, including eNCA's Hloni Mtimkulu and Muhammad Tlali oa Letseng.
