This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully licensed Mauritian tour operator with an active 10-year residence permit, giving the buyer the legal right to live and work in Mauritius without the typical immigration hurdles of starting from zero.
The business operates under a brand and holds a valid licence issued by the Tourism Authority of Mauritius. The core asset here is the combination of a trading tour operator licence plus a long-term residence permit, which together represent significant time, cost, and regulatory effort that any new entrant would have to replicate from scratch. That process is already done. The buyer steps in with everything in place.
Included in the sale is the full website, a robust, professionally built platform ready to take bookings and represent the brand to an international audience from day one. No development cost, no build time, no technical setup required.
Under Mauritian law, a company owned by a non-resident is required to have a local Mauritian director. This legal requirement is fully covered as part of this acquisition. The current owner will remain as the Mauritian director, ensuring the company stays fully compliant from the moment of handover with no gaps in governance, no scramble to find a local director, and no legal exposure for the incoming buyer.
To support the buyer's relocation, our established partner Moving Mauritius (movingmauritius.com) will manage the residence permit transfer process, providing end-to-end guidance for the buyer to legally reside in Mauritius as part of this acquisition. This removes one of the most common friction points for foreign buyers purchasing a Mauritius-based business.
Of the $95,000 asking price, $50,000 is directly reinvested into as working capital, meaning the buyer immediately owns a business with funded operations, not just a licence on paper. The remaining amount reflects the value of the licence, the residence permit, the website, the Mauritian directorship, and the established infrastructure being acquired.
The business currently operates with one staff member and is already integrated with GetYourGuide, one of the world's leading tours and activities booking platforms, giving it immediate visibility and booking capability with a global traveller audience. It also has active partnerships with over 15 service providers across Mauritius, covering the full range of ground services, experiences, and logistics that a fully operational tour operator requires.
This opportunity suits a buyer looking to relocate to Mauritius legally and immediately, an investor seeking a licensed foothold in the Indian Ocean tourism market, or an existing travel business wanting to expand into Mauritius with a ready-made operating entity. No start-up delays, no immigration queue, no supplier network to build from scratch, and no director search required.

The growth runway is substantial, and the foundations to scale are already in place.
The business has a demonstrated capacity to bring in 100 direct clients per month and 500+ indirect clients per month through its existing distribution network and partner relationships. This is not a projection built on speculation, it is a baseline that an active buyer can build on from day one.
Distribution channels are the most immediate lever. The business is currently live on GetYourGuide, but the same model can be replicated across Viator, Klook, Airbnb Experiences, and other global OTA platforms with relatively low effort. Each additional channel directly increases booking volume without requiring significant operational changes.
Product expansion is a natural next step. Mauritius offers a wide range of experiences beyond standard tours, including luxury yacht charters, helicopter tours, wedding and honeymoon packages, golf packages, and wellness retreats. Adding these as bookable products targets the high-spending visitor segment that dominates Mauritius tourism, particularly from Europe and the Middle East.
Corporate and MICE travel (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) represents a high-value and underserved segment. Mauritius actively attracts international corporate groups, and a licensed tour operator is well positioned to service ground logistics, team experiences, and event transfers for this market.
Inbound relocation tourism is an emerging opportunity. With the rise of digital nomads and remote workers choosing Mauritius as a base, there is growing demand for curated arrival experiences, orientation tours, and relocation packages. Given the existing partnership with Moving Mauritius, is uniquely positioned to bundle travel and relocation services in a way no generic tour operator can replicate.
B2B partnerships with hotels, airlines, and destination management companies offer another scaling path. Mauritius has a dense network of luxury resorts and international hotel groups, many of which actively refer guests to trusted ground operators for excursions and transfers.
With 100 direct and 500+ indirect clients already within reach every month, a focused buyer with even modest additional marketing investment could scale this business into a dominant ground operator in Mauritius within the first 12 to 24 months.
