The Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) will soon be running its operations to market and promote the Seychelles islands as a tourist destination at a new location.

The STB will be moving from the Espace building, where it has been based since 2013, to its new headquarters at the Botanical House at Mont Fleuri.

The move will be taking place during the week of 28th to 31st August.

The STB offices will be occupying the ground and first floor of the recently built glass-fronted building at Mont Fleuri, which also houses the Secretariat of the Ministry of Tourism, Civil Aviation Ports and Marine.

The Chief Executive of the STB, Mrs. Sherin Francis said there may be some disruptions to the services during this period, especially on 30th and 31st August, when the STB offices will be closed.

She added that normal operations will resume on 1st September 2017, just in time for start of another busy season of promotional activities and key events.

One of the main events locally is the Tourism week, an annual weeklong event at the end of September which coincides with World Tourism Day. On the international front, the Top Resa tourism trade fair in France is one of the key promotional event coming up, also at the end of September.

The contact numbers and email addresses of the STB will remain the same despite the office move.
