This mission marks a significant step in Seychelles’ ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in emerging markets, including Turkey, and interact with vital trade and media partners to further promote the destination.
The delegation to Istanbul will be led by the Principal Secretary for the Seychelles Tourism Department, Mrs. Sherin Francis. She will be accompanied by Mrs. Amia Jovanovic-Desir, manager for the Turkey market, as well as representatives from the Seychelles Small Hotels & Establishments Association (SSHEA), the Seychelles Hospitality & Tourism Association (SHTA), and Constance Hotels and Resorts.
The main highlight of the mission will be a destination presentation workshop aimed at providing Turkish tour operators and travel agents with insights into Seychelles as an Indian Ocean paradise. The event, dubbed “Seychelles: Your Paradise, Now Closer Than Ever,” will provide an opportunity for the Tourism Seychelles team and other partners to introduce the destination while featuring products and services offered by local businesses catering to Turkish visitors.
The workshop will feature a presentation on the unique appeal of Seychelles as a premier travel destination, with a special focus on the convenience of Turkish Airlines’ direct flights. With the participation of SSHEA, SHTA and Constance Hotels and Resorts, attendees will learn about the diverse accommodations available in Seychelles, while also learning about the eco-friendly initiatives and cultural experiences that make Seychelles an attractive choice for travelers.
Approximately 40 tour operators are expected to attend the workshop, where they will receive valuable insights into the latest offerings from the Seychelles tourism industry.
Tourism Seychelles will also hold a media event with Turkish media representatives, including journalists, influencers, and TV crews, who will have the opportunity to learn more about the destination and its growing tourism sector. The media presence will further amplify the promotion of Seychelles in Turkey and contribute to increased coverage in Turkish media outlets.
Ahead of the event, Mrs. Sherin Francis remarked:
“We are concentrating on hosting this significant event in January since Turkey has potential for Seychelles given it has air connectivity.”
“Given we are enticing Turkish Airlines to commit to operate year-round direct flights to Seychelles, this event would be a great way to raise awareness and demand for travel to the destination. The Tourism Department aims to establish Seychelles as one of the destinations for Turkish visitors by collaborating closely with important stakeholders, such as regional travel partners and accommodation providers.”
