22 reputable travel agents attended the event, which was a major step toward forging ties with the local travel industry.
The increased interest in journey to the Seychelles and a rise in tickets from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, were the highlights of the night. Elite consumers are increasingly choosing the Seychelles as a vacation spot, and some travel agencies have confirmed bookings for 2024.
The travel agencies ‘ desire for immediate hotel reservations marked a significant change in the industry. Prior to now, the emphasis was more on tour operators and Destination Management Companies ( DMCs ). The agents ‘ dedication to providing individualized attention and care for their clients is emphasized by this change in booking designs.
The travel agents mentioned their desire for a Familiarization Trip ( FamTrip ) to the Seychelles during the networking dinner.
When promoting the Seychelles to their clients, they emphasized the value of first expertise to boost their knowledge and confidence. This is consistent with the Tourism Seychelles Middle East Dubai Office’s dedication to giving go officials all the resources and support they need.
The occasion even opened up interesting possibilities for travel agents and Tourism Seychelles to work together. In order to increase the attractiveness of the Seychelles in 2024, discussions were held on mutual special activities and initiatives.
The Travel Agent Social Dinner in Riyadh was a victory, according to Ahmed Fathallah, who represents Tourism Seychelles Middle East. He looks forward to building on this victory in other partnerships.
