A Seychelles delegation led by the island’s Minister responsible for Tourism and Culture, Alain St.Ange, attended the 2nd Inauguration Ceremony of the Macao ASEAN International Chamber of Commerce in Macao. Minister St.Ange, who was accompanied by Elsia Grandcourt, the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board; Flavien Joubert, the Principal of the Seychelles Tourism Academy; Christine Vel, the Senior Marketing Executive of the Seychelles Tourism Board; and Dr. Sydney To, the Consul General of the Seychelles in the People’s Republic of China were guests of Mrs. Amber Li, the Chairwoman of the organization.

The meeting was the opportunity for the Seychelles Minister to meet not only the Board Members of the Macao Body but also delegates from most of the ASEAN countries who were present for the event.

Minister Alain St.Ange was acknowledged as a special invited guest and introduced accordingly during the Inauguration Ceremony. Minister St.Ange was also called on stage to join with all the delegates in Macao for this event to meet the gathered press.

Also present at the meeting in Macao were Mr. Wang Xindong, the Director General for Economic Affairs Development in the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao Special Administration Region, and Mr. Jackson Chang, the President of the Macoa Trade and Investment Promotion Institute.

The Macao meeting was an opportunity for members of the Seychelles delegation to meet the business community of Macao and with the delegates from the ASEAN Block. For the last three years the ASEAN countries have been present at the annual Carnaval International de Victoria, the annual Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands Carnival that is now staged annually in April in Seychelles.

The Seychelles Tourism Board was invited to stage a special promotion event in Macao and this will be supported by the Macao trade body.
