Delegates attending this year’s Routes Africa event in the Seychelles should make sure that they take some time, before or after the event to really take in the sights of this stunning paradise.
The Seychelles lie like a string of pearls amid the cerulean waters of the western Indian Ocean, roughly one thousand miles from the African coast. They appear as a line of stepping stones that promise to join the African continent with India, only to fade out halfway and form a dazzling archipelago instead.
Formed 150 million years ago, Seychelles is host to two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the legendary Vallée de Mai where the fabulous Coco-de-mer grows on towering palms and Aldabra, the planet’s largest raised coral atoll. The Seychelles has recently been voted the world’s finest honeymoon destination on earth and with no real extremes in the weather the tourism board claims that it is the land of perpetual summer.
Our host the Seychelles Tourism Board in partnership with the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority are very kindly providing an exclusive tour, complimentary to all registered delegates and have negotiated an amazing deal for any delegates wishing to stay on in the Seychelles after the event is over.
The complimentary half day tour of Mahe on Wednesday 11th July includes a visit to the Michael Adams Art Gallery, Tom Bowers Sculpture Workshop, the International Airport and the Mission “Ex school for slaves’ children”
Spaces on this tour can been pre-booked at the registration desk but delegates can also turn-up at the 07:45 departure time in the lobby of The Kempinski Resort, although availability is limited.
