A couple of years ago when the Seychelles relaunched its tourism industry after the appointment of Alain St.Ange as CEO of its Tourism Board and Vice President Joseph Belmont holding the tourism portfolio a Seychelles branded London Black-Cab Taxi was the centre of attraction at the World Travel Market tourism trade fair of London. "With V.P. Belmont we had a photo opportunity in London. Spot a Seychelles Taxi was then target for travel agents and fans of Seychelles" said Minister St.Ange in Paris as he gave the nod to the Seychelles branded Paris Taxi with Turkish Airline.
"We are mid-ocean islands and need airlines as our partners if we are to continue to consolidate our tourism industry. The visibility enjoyed by our islands during the last couple of years has ensured we remain relevant as a tourism destination with a difference.
