Seychelles Tourism Board Conducts Destination Trainings in Surat and Nagpur
Further strengthens trade relations in small potential cities of India
Mumbai:
Seychelles Tourism Board successfully completed destination trainings in Surat
and Nagpur in the month of September, 2018. The workshops were conducted to
engage a new set of tour operators who have the potential to promote the
destination and equip them with information and details about Seychelles.
The events were attended by 25-30 companies in both cities which
included a destination presentation followed by question and answer and
networking sessions. While the training was conducted by Ms. Shakambri Soni
from the Seychelles Tourism Board, Ms. Neeti Bhatia, GM-Marketing and PR at
Blue Square Consultants orchestrated the networking sessions ensuring quality
meetings. Seychelles has seen a
steady growth in inbound tourism from India with more than 10,000 passengers
till September 2018. India is the top 6th source destination for
Seychelles and is seeing an increase in traffic from tier two cities of India. Commenting on the success of the workshops Ms. Lubaina Sheerazi, COO, Blue Square
Consultants, Seychelles Tourist office India said, ‘The workshop format is
a great way of engaging many new and upcoming agents in any city, it gives a
common platform for all to get information and support from the tourism board.
Limiting the presentation to around 30 companies ensures good one to one
interaction between the tourism board representative and invited operators and
leads to more serious business meetings between the two. Seychelles is now a
choice of destination for target audiences beyond honeymooners and metro cities
and penetration into tier two cities through this format provides a larger
stage to initiate and nurture quality B2B interaction.’
