Freddy Karkaria and Illusions Online founder Faisal Memon

Illusions Online has marked yet another milestone in its developments by signing its first deal in the Seychelles.

The leading travel technology specialist has penned an agreement with Destination Management Firm Select-Seychelles, providing the luxury inbound travel specialist with the most cutting-edge solution available in the Indian Ocean.

Under deal terms, Select-Seychelles, a B2B operator that excels in providing a high-quality service to discerning travellers, will adopt ‘Illusions OnDemand’ technology in a bid to help the company realise its expansion plans, achieve greater global visibility and further enhance the level of professional services it offers.

“We are looking to take our business to the next level and this is why we have selected Illusions as our travel technology partner,” explained Select-Seychelles managing director, Freddy Karkaria.

“We needed a company that would match and merge with our savior-faire, quality and vision, enabling us to leverage our unique attributes as a DMC to generate more revenue; not necessarily through a greater volume of passengers, but rather by optimising costs and delivering better yields per passenger.

Karkaria stressed that this system would not be installed to replace employees, but to “bring the best out of them and make them more productive”.

Select-Seychelles signed up to the latest V13 (Version 13) of IOD’s Enterprise solution in July.

Karkaria said this off-the-shelf product was far superior to any other system on offer and unlike other solutions, which normally took years to roll out, it would go live in November, with Illusions providing all the necessary training and support within that lightening-speed time frame.
