The destination training and product awareness sessions, which took place at the Turkish Airlines head office in Montreal were held for two consecutive days, on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29, and saw the participation of 36 tourism professionals from the cities of Montreal and Quebec respectively.

The session provided an opportunity for the participants to learn more about Seychelles as a destination and the various offers available for travelers through the Turkish service provider network including Turkish Airlines, and Turkish DMC, Turkish Concepts.

Mr. David Germain, STB Regional Director for Africa and the Americas, was present in Montreal for the event to represent the destination.
