Hello there! Firstly thank you for visiting our BLOG about the Seychelles and of course providing updates on Ghana and Kenya as well! If you are a first time visitor to this little BLOG then welcome we appreciate your visit.
Just a few updates to post today before getting back to the shop which might be of interest to you.
August is here and in a few days our young country, 34 years young, will once again witness the celebration of the birthdays of two of our presidents in the same month! For many countries this might not be significant, however we view this with some importance owing to the fact that we are a relative "newcomer" to the club of nation states. What we are seeing here is perhaps what the United States experienced 200 years ago when they celebrated the birth dates of George Washington, their first president, and Thomas Jefferson who was the 3rd president.
Happy this day, although a few days early, to send our best regards and happy birthday wishes to President James Mancham, who was born on the 11th of August 1939, and President James Michel, who was born on the 16th of August 1944. President Mancham, a former president and founding president of the Republic of Seychelles, championed early on the industry of tourism to the islands, with a high regard to the natural beauty of the islands. Our current Head of State, President James Michel, as well recognizes the importance of tourism, and recently ordered a review of this important ministry and personally taking over the portfolio. An important indication as to how serious and important tourism is to our young republic. Happy Birthdays - President Michel and President Mancham. Thank you for your service and dedication to our Seychelles!
Seychelles Receives Its 100,000 th Visitor. Alain St. Ange who is not only the new CEO for Seychelles Tourism, recently appointed by President Michel, and who is as well quite adept @ FaceBook postings, posted a few days ago that the Seychelles would be expecting its 100,000th visitor in a few days. Well the number was achieved a few days ago indeed, and Alain and his hard working team were present at the Pointe Larue International airport on the BIG island of Mahe, to welcome the lucky person. Stay tuned as we update this event with the attention it deserves. Meanwhile rest content with this posted photo of Alain, ever the hardworking CEO, as he debarks from the Cat Coco fast ferry onto the jetty @ Praslin carrying some young palm trees for onward planting! Well done Alain and team!
