The District of Rivière du Rempart accommodates prime locations for development, specially for the tourism sector.  In this connection, am proud to mention that the Village of Roches Noires has been awarded the Best Tourism Village in 2024 by the United Nation Tourism, the Village of Grand Baie has been upgraded and recognised as Best Tourism Village, where as the Village of Cap Malheureux has been selected to participate in the upgrade programme of year 2025.
