INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- We should never lose sight of the fact that in a world that is more and more frenetic, a world fraught with conflicts and faced with a severe economic downturn, Seychelles, for many of our visitors, represents an idyl, a haven of peace, tranquility and tolerance, enabling them to reconnect and re-energize themselves.
- We need to remain aware of this and ensure that the quality of their holiday does not disappoint and, also, do what must be done to increase the number and variety of our tourism products, particularly those showcasing our vibrant culture and heritage.
- As we celebrate more than 50 years of Seychelles Tourism, which gained impetus with the opening of the international airport, we should also be mindful that ‘Sustainability' is not just about protecting the environment but also about our community's involvement in that industry.
