WIN! a holiday to the Seychelles
Emirates Holidays and the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) have teamed up to launch a travel agent competition giving four top performing travel agents the chance to go the ‘Seychelles Carnaval International de Victoria’ next year.

The ‘Be Smart, Be Carnaval’ programme invites travel agents from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Russia, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey to keep track of their bookings to the Seychelles from 15 June 2011 to 31 January 2012.

Emirates Holidays will choose two winners from the GCC/Middle East region and two from Europe. The winners will be selected on the basis of performance, and will win a complimentary four-night stay in Seychelles during the Seychelles Carnaval International de Victoria. Winners will be chosen in February 2012.

“This agents’ incentive programme is in line with our commitment to promote the Seychelles across our network.

Various tactical offers will be launched to support the programme with the aim of attracting more tourists into the destination. The countries selected constitute new markets with high potential for the archipelago.
