The Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) has signed a commercial partnership with BBC Studios at the World Travel Market 2026 in London. Destination Mauritius will be launching a campaign in 2027 around some of BBC Studios’ upcoming travel content, including a Travel Show special for Mauritius.
The Travel Show is the weekly flagship travel series for the BBC News channel, bringing intelligent and engaging travel journalism to global audiences. Content from the show also runs on BBC.com and the BBC app. Each episode covers a single destination in-depth: exploring topics such as sustainable tourism, history and local culture. The Travel Show regularly wins awards for its storytelling including winning ‘Broadcast Programme of the Year’ at the recent Travel Media Awards 2026.
The Travel Show Mauritius episode will feature the BBC’s bilingual presenter Emeline Nsingi Nkosi and feature the local gastronomy, nature, wildlife preservation and the beautiful scenery of this iconic island. The episode will be accompanied by digital content and be available as an in-flight programme on selected airlines. In addition, ’The Art of Escape’ will be a 3-part branded content series produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, exploring unseen Mauritius over 3 themes: Food & Culture, Action & Adventure and Nature & Wildlife. It will detail authentic scenes and speak with locals to paint a picture of a multifaceted destination with heart and soul that is inviting you to explore yourself. Featuring travel photographer, Jack Swynnerton, it will take us on a magical journey through the island.
