VICTORIA, Seychelles — Seychellois tourism icon Alain St Ange has welcomed the new government, in remarks that highlight the importance of the tourism sector to the country’s economy and to its global brand. 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. He called for a national effort to support the sector, including through investment, marketing, and partnership with the private sector.
Tourism operators and partners echoed St Ange’s remarks, noting that the sector is a key driver of economic growth, employment, and foreign exchange.
