Sun and Sea Seychelles in Australia’s Luxury Travel Magazine |09 July 2011

Jenny visited Seychelles in March this year for the island’s Carnaval International de Victoria – the event where the world’s best carnivals parade side by side with cultural groups from the four corners of the world.

The Seychelles feature article that appears from pages 18 to 28 of the magazine’s issue will go a long way to increase the visibility of the islands and also help enlighten Australia and Australasia about the destination.

“These fabled islands are a lot more than first-class sun, sand and sea, of course. Just ask William and Kate,” reads the introduction to the article.

Seychelles today is known to offer the best in sun, sea and sand holidays. This is reality because of its clean and white sandy beaches, its clean and clear turquoise blue seas and its weather pattern that has given it the name of the destination with perpetual summer.

But Seychelles also prides itself on being the safe destination where the population and tourists enjoy their daily lives side by side.

Today, these islands have become the most sought-after honeymoon destination. They made news in the four corners of the world when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge found refuge here for their honeymoon, well away from the paparazzi and prying eyes. Seychelles is one destination that offers what they call ‘personalised’ tourism because these islands do not believe in mass tourism and charter business.
