Speaking about the upcoming event in Israel, Mrs. Sherin Francis, STB Chief Executive, mentioned that this new opportunity would help in opening the destination to this blooming market.

“Israel is not a new venture for Seychelles; we count about 5-7 chartered flights from this specific part of the world annually. We are now consolidating our foundations in ensuring that the product is packaged in the most attractive way to increase its reach and motivate Israeli to have a unique travel experience that is the Seychelles experience,” said Mrs. Francis. 

During her official marketing and media mission in Israel, Ms. Bernadette Willemin, Regional Director for Europe, and Ms. Monette Rose, Director for Italy, Turkey, Greece and the Mediterranean, will accompany Mrs. Francis.

The event, which follows the visit of Seychelles Minister for Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine Mr. Didier Dogley in Israel in February this year, aims at creating a platform for the tourism trade in the Mediterranean city in anticipation of the weekly flight scheduled by Air Seychelles as of November 2019.
