Re-Activating the Eco-Tourism process

Measure No. 2 of 25 (In no particular order)


FOR THE COMMUNITY AND BY THE COMMUNITY


Quotation


In his Interview with Isola Bella of September 2006 entitled “My Priority Is To Speed Up Development In The Districts” PRESIDENT JAMES ALIX MICHEL said and I quote:-

“More of our people have been introduced to entrepreneurship, and I expect that in the next few years we will have a bigger pool of successful businessmen in small, medium and big industries, as well as cottage industry. I want our people to participate directly in wealth-generating activities and, at the same time, benefit from a share of the profits. I want the Seychellois to be a nation of share-holders”.

In response together let us reactivate the PROCESS, in enabling the Ecotourism Niche to develop hand in hand with the prevailing overall tourism product developments and in line with the fast ongoing socio-economic developments.

In so doing we will be able to enrich the tourism industry itself further so as to provide still more Community Benefits for all, in ensuring a brighter future for our children.”
