This French press Group were invited to Seychelles to see for themselves the unique selling point of these most sought after islands as a holiday destination.

The Minister will be accompanied by Sherin Naiken, the CEO of the Tourism Board of seychelles and also joining them from Paris will be the island’s Director for Europe, Bernadette Willemin. Meseret Tekalign of Ethiopian Airline will also accompany Minister St.Ange to Addis Ababa.
