The Seychelles Tourism Board is once again in Moscow attending the MITT Travel Exhibition from March 19-22 with European Director Mrs. Bernadette Willemin, Marketing Manager Ms. Karen Confait, and Russian representative Ms. Evgenia Russiyanova heading the delegation. Various local partners, namely 7 South represented by Anna Butler Payette and Valentina Payet, Raffles Praslin – Viktoriya Khaydukovs, Hilton Seychelles – Maria Eremina, and Air Seychelles – Kathleen Payet were also present to reassure their commitment to the Russian market.
MITT, the largest leading travel exhibition in Russia with over 1,800 exhibitors, is the key meeting place for the industry and remains the most important platform to showcase Seychelles in this ever-growing market as the demand for travel services in Russia grows and the spending power of Russian travelers becomes more known. It is the ideal opportunity to reconnect with all existing partners as well as to continuously grow the business and maintain Seychelles’ position as a luxury exotic destination in the market.
Tourism arrivals from Russia have continued to grow in the past two months, making it the fourth leading market for Seychelles, a position it occupies in 2013. This is the result of the continuous efforts and dedication of the Seychelles Tourism Board and its partners over the past years contributed also by its increased presence in the Russian regions.
Seychelles is a founding member of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP) .
