Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u2022 President praises search party for rescuing tourist lost on La Digue<\/b><\/p>\n

The government has said it will be implementing necessary measures through the introduction of GPR bracelets that can be worn by tourists on trails so as to ensure in case of accidents tracing will be accurate and swift.<\/p>\n

This follows a recent incident whereby a 63-year-old Austrian tourist got lost on Wednesday last week while on the Anse Coco trail on La Digue island and was only rescued after three days (see lead story).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile President Wavel Ramkalawan has sent a message to express the country\u2019s sincere appreciation to members of the various agencies and civilians involved in the three-day intensive search and rescue operation for the tourist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President said the whole nation is relieved and comforted that the search and rescue was successful and that Seychelles is immensely proud of the efforts of the Police Force, the Seychelles Fire & Rescue Services Agency (SFRSA), La Digue district authorities, the Seychelles Defence Forces, Zil Air, health staff, as well as all other civilians for their perseverance and courage during the operation,\u201d said President Ramkalawan in his message.<\/p>\n

He said the government will be implementing necessary measures through the introduction of GPR bracelets that can be worn by tourists on trails, so as to ensure in case of accidents tracing will be accurate and swift.<\/p>\n
