Qatar Airways has joined forces with the Tourism Seychelles in a concerted effort to bring together the perfect combination of a dream holiday destination and a world-class global airline for travellers who once again want to experience an idyllic summer getaway in the Indian Ocean.
The strategic marketing partnership will spearhead the recovery of tourism in Seychelles with the two organisations collaborating to attract more visitors to the islands from across the world, taking full advantage of Qatar Airways’ extensive global network.
In anticipation of the increased demand for travel to Seychelles, Qatar Airways has increased its flights to the island destination from three weekly to daily. Passengers travelling to Seychelles can enjoy the airline’s renowned 5-star service onboard it’s sustainable and modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner that will offer 22 seats in Business Class and 232 seats in Economy Class.
His Excellency Mr Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, said: “Home to 115 islands, countless secluded beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, Seychelles is the perfect getaway for those planning their first holiday since the onset of the pandemic. We know how important international visitors are to the local economy and we look forward to working closely with Tourism Seychelles to support the recovery of their tourism sector.”
Mr Sylvestre Radegonde, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Seychelles, said: “As one of the first international airlines to return to Seychelles skies earlier this year, we are delighted that Qatar Airways is increasing its frequency to fly daily, proof of the confidence the management of Qatar Airways shares of Seychelles as a safe destination. Our islands are a refuge, and with our tourism operators versed in operating safely, we look forward to welcoming more visitors from across the world through Doha.”
Speaking about the increase in the frequency of flights from Qatar Airways, Mrs Sherin Francis, Principal Secretary for Tourism said: “We are happy to see the increase in flights from Qatar Airways. We are anticipating a rise in demand for our destination in the third quarter of 2021 and it is reassuring for us to note that flight availability is not going to be an issue for travellers. The strategic partnership that we have recently established with Qatar Airways is one that we hope will grow from strength to strength. Air connectivity remains key in the recovery of the destination.”
As travellers return to the skies with Qatar Airways, they can take comfort knowing that they are travelling with the only airline in the world that has, together with its state-of-the-art global hub Hamad International Airport, achieved four 5-Star Skytrax ratings – including the prestigious 5-Star Airline Rating, 5-Star Airport Rating, 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating and 5-Star COVID-19 Airport Safety Rating.
