With
the 2015 edition of the annual Carnaval International de Victoria
marking its fifth anniversary milestone, an avalanche of media houses
from the four corners of the world have confirmed that they will to be
flocking down to Seychelles once again.
The
Seychelles Tourism Board is focusing on attracting quality
international media to cover this colorful three-day extravaganza that
brings together all the best and most-known carnivals and cultural
troupes from the Community of Nations. So far for the 2015 carnival in
the Seychelles there will be media delegations coming from France,
Germany, Italy, UK, Ireland, China, India, South Africa, Hawaii,
Mauritius, La Reunion, Turkey, and the Americas among others.
The
media plays a very important role in bringing the Carnaval
International de Victoria event to the rest of the world, through
photos, TV, radio, print, and online articles. This will in turn propel
the Seychelles Tourism Board’s mission to market Seychelles as so much
more than a sun, sea, sand destination. Delegations coming to
participate in this year's event will also benefit greatly from the
coverage that this large bank of world press will be providing. This is
one of points that continues to attract so many countries to register to
be present in this annual carnival parade that is known for being the
melting pot of cultures.
Local
Seychelles business who are supporting the Seychelles Tourism Board in
the staging of this annual cultural event and those with floats in the
carnival parade will also be joining the international delegations and
will be invited to the pre-carnival press conference for them to meet
the press and get the necessary exposure for their businesses. At ITB in
Berlin, Minister Alain St.Ange continued the drive by Seychelles to
meet the press. Minister St.Ange was interviewed by “Breaking Travel
News” of the United Kingdom (see photo) where he also discussed carnival
coverage as he did with Juergen Steinmetz of eTurboNews, Suat Tore of S
& M Publications, and FTN News. Earlier this month, Sherin Naiken,
the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, was on the CNN Richard Quest
program and on BBC TV. Both Minister St.Ange and Tourism Board's CEO
Naiken are always working with the press to keep the Seychelles visible
on the tourism world and to ensure that Seychelles remains a relevant
tourism destination.
The
large number of world press coming to cover the 2015 edition of the
Carnaval International de Victoria in the Seychelles will all be able to
discover the island's natural beauty as they cover the biggest cultural
event organized by Seychelles. This can only benefit the tourism
industry of Seychelles and of the Vanilla Islands.
And
as we get closer to the opening ceremony set for April 24 with
excitement and interest mounting, there will surely be more press
confirming their participation in the upcoming weeks.
