Introduction to Goodlands, Mauritius
Goodlands is an important town in the western part of Mauritius, located about 15 kilometers south of the capital, Port Louis. As one of the main industrial and commercial centers on the island, the area is known as a manufacturing and export processing zone, with a large concentration of textile and food processing companies.
Location and Transportation
Goodlands is situated on the western plains of Mauritius, close to the towns of Catleborne and Rosehill. It has quick access to Port Louis and the west coast tourist areas via the M1 highway and is conveniently located about 30 minutes drive from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport.
Economic and Industrial Characteristics
The area was one of the first export processing zones in Mauritius and was once dominated by garment manufacturing. In recent years, it has gradually transformed into diversified industries such as food processing and electronics assembly, while retaining its traditional sugarcane plantation economy, reflecting the transformation of Mauritius from a mono-agricultural economy to industrialization.
Life and Culture
Goodlands is characterized by a multi-ethnic community where Indian, Creole and Chinese cultures meet. With a large market and shopping center in the town center and residential areas and schools dotted around the perimeter, the town retains the characteristic tropical townscape of Mauritius despite its predominantly industrial function.
