St Ange, who is widely recognised for his contribution to the development of the Seychelles tourism industry, said he looked forward to working with the new administration to take the sector forward.
St Ange noted that the new government has an opportunity to build on the strong foundation of the country’s tourism industry, and to position Seychelles for continued growth in an increasingly competitive global market.
