Mauritius: Dangerous paradise - sex, drugs and HIV
It is hard not to resort to clichés when writing about Mauritius: the white, sandy beaches, sunny blue skies and swaying palm trees. This Indian Ocean island paradise is the stuff travel brochures are made of. Stepping off a plane filled with eager tourists and a group of honeymooners proudly flashing "just married" t-shirts, it is easy to see how tourism has become the main source of income.
Tourists are not the only ones pouring into the country: extensive air and sea connections to south and southeast Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe, combined with free ports and an offshore banking industry, have made Mauritius a drug trafficker's paradise.
