- Coverage 1983Republic of Mauritius. These four series are compiled for the country as a whole, not from the island's own tables: tourism earnings come from the Bank of Mauritius, Gross Value Added and its share from the National Accounts definition of the value added of every firm, government institution and producing household 'in a given country', and employment from the Survey of Employment and Earnings in large establishments. Statistics Mauritius publishes no tourism figures for Rodrigues separately, so the Republic total cannot be split. The hotel figures are the island's, so they must never be combined with these series into one ratio.
Notes on this data (1)
- Revision 20252025 is marked provisional in the Year 2025 release (27 February 2026). The historical series workbook published later (22 May 2026) carries the same 2025 figures without a provisional mark; MorisLens keeps each source's own labelling rather than reconciling them.
