Boasting powder-white beaches and clear tranquil turquoise waters, the Seychelles archipelago is synonymous to romance, beach weddings, and honeymoons. <\/p>\n
Famed for its reputation as an ultimate escape destination for newlyweds, Seychelles has played host to a stream of honeymoons and romantic getaways for the rich and famous, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who spent their honeymoon in Seychelles in 2011. <\/p>\n
With those attributes, its not surprising that the Seychelles is once again nominated as a finalist for an international travel award. <\/p>\n
Seychelles features among finalists in the Selling Travel Agents Choice Awards 2017 in the Destination for Weddings & Honeymoons category. <\/p>\n
The island destination is competing against Barbados, Cyprus, Mexico, and Indian Ocean neighbor Mauritius. <\/p>\n
The Seychelles national airline is also a finalist. Air Seychelles is competing against Air Mauritius, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Jet Airways, and Qatar Airways in the best Airline to India and the Indian Ocean category. <\/p>\n
Selling Travel is a UK travel trade training magazine, providing UK travel professionals with the tools and information to sell products, services, and worldwide destinations. <\/p>\n
The Selling Travel Agents Choice Awards are the only industry accolades nominated and voted for by travel agents alone. <\/p>\n
With 48 categories this year, agents are being called to vote for their best airlines, hotels, destinations, tour operators, ferries rails among others. FAM trips and events or roadshows feature as new categories in 2017, in a bid to recognize the importance of experiential education in the travel trade. <\/p>\n
The Chief Executive of the Seychelles Tourism Board, Mrs. Sherin Francis said, Efforts invested in working with travel agents and them having a say to determine who wins in each category will weigh in and assess the good relationship between them and travel industry representatives and suppliers from across the globe. <\/p>\n
For Seychelles to be nominated as a finalist in the Destination for Weddings & Honeymoons category, once again adds more weight to what is already known; that Seychelles is indeed one of the worlds best spot for weddings and leading honeymoon destination, she added. <\/p>\n
Voting which can be done online has already started and will close on October 15, 2017. Agents taking part in the voting process also stand the chance of winning a trip to Manila, Philippines. <\/p>\n
According to the Selling Travel website, two events will be organized in London and Manchester to celebrate the Selling Travel Agents Choice Awards and encourage debate as the agents get the chance to meet many of the finalists for the 2017 edition of the award. <\/p>\n
