STB places staff skills at top of agenda |12 September 2009

Ms Venus left the country yesterday to work alongside the Seychelles Tourist Office manager in France, Bernadette Willemin.

Besides helping on daily marketing work, Ms Venus will prepare for Seychelles’ presence at the 2009 Top Resa tourism trade fair, which takes place later this month.

Alain St Ange, the director of tourism marketing, has welcomed the overseas posting of Ms Venus, saying it is part of their strategy to empower staff so as to develop a strong and committed team.

“We need a strong team and we will have that by allowing our local staff to work, experience and pick up new skills from working in an overseas office. They are trained in the process,” he said.

Mr St Ange repeated his plans to work with his staff in mind, to ensure each and every one of them is empowered so they all work tirelessly for the benefit of our country’s tourism industry.

“Seychelles will be the one benefiting at the end from more capable and trained professionals,” he said.
