Tourism Seychelles took part with a nine square metre stand that featured artwork of granite boulders, giant tortoises, and black parrots \u2013 depicting the uniqueness and beauty of the destination\u2019s beaches and green scenery.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was a pre-planned meeting concept, facilitating over 50 meetings with outbound buyers and media from Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, India, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, alongside others from Germany and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Tour operators and media visiting the exhibition came to increase their knowledge of the diverse range of products, services and natural attractions that the islands have to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Seychelles\u2019 top-rated attractions were extensively showcased to all the agents throughout the presentations.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of island hopping, which distinguishes Seychelles from its competitors, was well explained to the agents, who were reassured on how to better promote the destination to their clients.<\/p>\n<p>Amia Jovanovic-Desir, the director for India, Australia and Southeast Asia, represented Tourism Seychelles at the trade fair.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasised that their goal is to consistently position and generate destination awareness throughout South Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Tourism Seychelles intends to concentrate on more cost-effective strategic marketing tools and consumer campaigns that will reach and penetrate the appropriate target categories in these markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough air connectivity is a challenging factor from this region, nevertheless this should not spare us from spreading the message that Seychelles is a must-visit destination with a wide choice of attributes for visitors to choose from, especially after the pandemic,\u201d added Ms Jovanovic-Desir.<\/p>\n<p>The department is working towards identifying activities to facilitate trades that are interested in the destination, such as training, workshops, and webinars. Inviting the media to highlight and exhibit the islands through their various channels are areas that are being explored to extend the scope of customers&#8217; awareness and obtain a larger range of audience and interest.<\/p>\n<p>Most agents and press that came to see the Seychelles exhibit were given promotional materials and tokens depicting the Seychelles brand. Some of the new tour operators have already announced that they plan to travel to Seychelles in 2023 for a familiarisation trip to better promote the location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/seychelles\">Seychelles<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
