(eTN) A UK-developed technology, now used by Leisure and Business Guide, is due to launch a new service for visitors to the Seychelles in August, aimed to provide swift and accurate information to tourists, but also the local population, on a variety of topics, like Google Maps, restaurant and resort locations, attractions and much more.

The application will be available reportedly on BlackBerry phones, IPhones, and selected other models, which are browser enabled. The Seychelles Tourism Board has applauded the move and praised the entrepreneurial spirit to launch such a state-of-the-art data service. One word of caution though - roaming services on the archipelago are not universal, as this correspondent found out the hard way, but local Sim cards are available from the shops and sales outlets of several mobile operators now serving the Seychelles.
