VICTORIA, Seychelles — Seychelles has taken a further step in strengthening its relationship with Asia’s largest outbound travel market through a series of high-level engagements with the Sichuan Department of Culture and Tourism, the Chinese embassy in Seychelles, and Sichuan Airlines. The discussions focused on expanding air connectivity, trade, cultural exchange and education between the two countries.
Held as part of Tourism Seychelles’ structured programme of events, the meetings brought together key representatives from both the public and private sectors. A key strategic session gathered Seychelles’ tourism and air travel leaders together with senior executives from Sichuan Airlines, with a focus on the newly launched Chengdu-Seychelles route, which is expected to play a major role in increasing visitor arrivals from China in the coming years.
Officials at Tourism Seychelles said the engagements will help position Seychelles as a preferred destination in the Chinese outbound travel market, while also opening up new opportunities for trade and cultural exchange. The meetings build on a series of recent high-level visits between Seychelles and Sichuan, including President Wavel Ramkalawan’s trip to the province last year and the recent visit of a high-level Sichuan delegation to Victoria.
