Sheikh Majid Al Mualla said: “Renewing our commitment to the Seychelles demonstrates that Emirates’ partnership with the archipelago and the Seychelles Tourism Board is a successful one. Indeed, along the years both parties have shown the will to work hand in hand towards a common goal.

"Working together has brought concrete results in growing the awareness around the Seychelles throughout our network and contributed to the development of new markets. The Seychelles Tourism Board has proven to be one of the most dynamic promotion agencies we have worked with.”

“We strongly believe in the Seychelles as a destination and it is with this frame of mind that we will continue to work with the Seychelles Tourism Board for the future campaigns”.

They have worked with us, and they have supported us in our drive to make Seychelles more visible, and for this we remain thankful”.
