UK team prepare for World Travel Market - 07.11.2009
Two more Seychelles Tourism Board staff have travelled overseas, this time bound for the UK, as part of the programme to empower its young professionals. Stephanie Medor and Lorraine Louis are now in London to take part in the process of organising and setting up Seychelles’ presence at the World Travel Market (WTM), which will be held there soon. They join Fiona Lane, the newly appointed manager of the Seychelles UK Office, to coordinate the logistics for Seychelles. After the WTM, they will take part in a Seychelles tourism workshop before returning home. The director of tourism marketing, Alain St Ange, has said that the STB is committed to the further development of its key staff with the aim of preparing PR, sales and marketing managers for the country’s hospitality industry. “We shall give them opportunities for networking and for experience gathering,” he said. It is now official that Seychelles is back in the UK, and setting-up a new office with an all-Seychellois staff is the first step in this process. An announcements on the reopening will be made during a press conference at the WTM by Vice-President Joseph Belmont and Mr St Ange. |
