Xerox dealers find Seychelles too perfect an original to be copied |03 March 2007

Germany’s best-performing dealers are rewarded with a one-week trip to the islands to find out for themselves that some things are just too much of an Original to be reproduced.

Organized by one of Germany’s leading agencies for incentive travel and events,
Frankfurt-based MIT, Xerox has invited forty of its top dealers to a once-in-a-lifetime
experience: Between March 2 and 7, the group will visit Mahé and Cerf Island,
plus – on a combined flight and boat trip – the islands of Praslin and La Digue.

The group will be staying at the Le Méridien Barbarons hotel on Mahé. The trip also
includes a rally-type discovery tour of the island by car, in which the participants are
encouraged not to compete in speed but in acquiring an intimate knowledge of
Seychelles nature and culture.

The participants qualified for the trip in last year’s “Xerox Momentum Sales Cup,” an
internal performance competition run by the company for its authorized business
machine dealers in Germany.

Max Hunzinger, managing partner of the MIT agency and Honorary Consul for the
Seychelles in Germany since 1996, is confident that the participants will have an
authentic, emotional, and memorable experience here that will help promote the
destination in Germany and that might serve as an example for future incentives:
“The incomparable beauty of the Seychelles is of immense value, especially in a
business that relies on unique destinations.”

For this trip, Max Hunzinger has enlisted the support of his wife, Edith Hunzinger, a
native Seychelloise and familiar to many as the former manager of the Seychelles
Tourist Office in Germany for more than a decade. Max and Edith Hunzinger will
accompany the Xerox group to ensure that the participants are fully immersed in the
magic of this destination from the day of their arrival.
