Tourism Seychelles hosted an iftar at the Sheraton Hotel Muscat in Oman on March 19, 2024, for top travel agencies, providing them with insights into the potential of Seychelles and travel opportunities.

Facilitated by the Tourism Seychelles representative office in the Middle East, the Exclusive Travel Agent Networking event laid emphasis on the importance of reconnecting with travel agencies in the post-pandemic travel landscape.

Seychelles emerged as a beacon of possibility, offering unparalleled experiences for travellers seeking luxury, exclusivity, and adventure.

Connectivity between Oman and Seychelles was a key discussion point, recognising Seychelles' potential appeal to royal families, high-profile individuals, and High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs).
