Mauritius
Score: 55

"An island people with a flair for hospitality and kindness toward visitors. Mauritius is surely the only country in the world where Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Chinese, and Creoles coexist in peace and celebrate several religious festivals together."

"Culturally Mauritius is fascinating in terms of its agriculture, small hamlets, and cuisine. Its marine biodiversity is also interesting and diving is good, although many reefs are dying due to eutrophication from agriculture and hotels."

"Mauritius is in danger of continued environmental degradation unless the government acts to stop inappropriate tourist developments. More could be done to develop tourist educational facilities to inform visitors of the island's heritage."
