Alain St.Ange, the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, met Gao Fei, the Vice President of the Beijing Tourism Group (BTG) ahead of a working afternoon between an eight-person delegation from the BTG and a mix of private sector representatives and Tourism Board officials from Seychelles.

The Beijing Tourism Group is the largest travel and tours group in China with some 90 agents only in Beijing. The senior management of the organization will be meeting with Alain St.Ange to discuss the signature of a working agreement for the two organizations to work together for the promotion of Seychelles in China. “This will enable the Seychelles to welcome a larger group of visitors from China,” said Alain St.Ange.

Gao Fei was attending a function that saw the Seychelles President James Michel address a large group of Chinese VIPs and press.
