Also representing Tourism Seychelles in R\u00e9union was Marketing Executive Ms Ingrid Asante.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Towards the end of the workshops, Ms Bernadette Honore shared her sentiments on the overall engagements and success of the events.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>&#8220;We are very satisfied with the outcome of the B2B workshop sessions. Since the re-opening of Air Austral flights in December 2021, the time was right to bring local trades on the market to network and reconnect with their R\u00e9union Travel Trade professionals. Their participation in the B2B workshop sessions was very positive, and they showed strong interest to continue pushing sales to Seychelles,&#8221; said Ms Honore.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The two local Destination Management Companies (DMCs)&nbsp;at the events were represented by Ms Lucy Jean Louis from Masons Travel and Ms St\u00e9phanie El Abou Mekdachi from 7\u00b0 South. Another local travel trade participating in the roadshow was Fabrice Maynard, representing the Constance Hotels.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>The event also saw the participation of Air Austral, represented by Ms Brigitte Ravilly, Head of Distribution for the R\u00e9union market.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>On the last day of the Seychelles R\u00e9union Roadshow, Tourism Seychelles and its partners hosted the R\u00e9union Travel Trade Directors and Head of Products to a business lunch held in Saint-Denis. The session led with a presentation by Tourism Seychelles on market trends.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>&#8220;The business lunch was organised as part of a strategic approach to grow businesses in Seychelles and bounce back to the pre-COVID trends in terms of arrival figures. The event was ideal for networking with our product managers and directors and gaining sale support for the destination,&#8221; said Ms Honore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seychelles Tourism Department hosted yet another productive roadshow in R\u00e9union, bringing together professionals from the R\u00e9union and Seychelles Travel Trade to discuss the latest developments on the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;In each city, Tourism Seychelles and its local partners engaged in a series of workshops and round-robin discussions to keep their counterparts in R\u00e9union abreast of new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6412"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6473,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6412\/revisions\/6473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tourism.gov.sc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
