A book on Seychelles travel was published and launched successfully as of April 25, 2013 and is now in Korean book stores. The book, “Seychelles, not just another place, another world,” showcases what Seychelles offers to travelers – the nature, accommodation, islands, attractions, and etc.
The authors are Mr. Dong Chang Jeong, the Seychelles Honorary Consul General to South Korea, and Ms. Julie Kim, Regional Manager of the Seychelles Tourist Office, Korea. These two authors say that they are already Seychellois in mind, and have been in Seychelles more than 50 and 30 times, respectively, for the past 10 years. Mr. Jeong is also the initiator of the Seychelles Eco-friendly Marathon which is now getting to the 7th edition in February 2014.
Mr. Jeong says: “I tried to incorporate essential information for investors as well to facilitate the needs of potential investors of Korea. Now that the awareness of Seychelles and travelers are increasing, more entrepreneurs are showing their interests in investing in the Seychelles – especially fisheries and renewable energies.”
As the Seychelles Honorary Consul General to Korea and responsible for the Seychelles Tourist Office in Korea, publishing a book on Seychelles has been a long cherished wish and aim for him. Both Mr. Jeong and Julie Kim believe this book in Korean will contribute tremendously to the promotion and to the better understanding of Seychelles which will induce more exchanges and cooperation between the two countries – in tourism, culture, economy, education, to name a few.
Ms. Julie Kim says” “We are full of passion and love for Seychelles. I expect this book will contribute to general awareness of Seychelles and create more FIT and NICHE travelers.”
