The Seychelles’ Minister for Tourism and Culture, Mrs Amanda Bernstein, is leading a delegation to the World Travel Market (WTM) London 2026, from 3 to 5 November. Meetings will be held throughout the event at the Seychelles Stand, No. 11-520, in Hall 11.
Also attending will be Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) Chief Executive Officer, Ms Vesna Rakić; STB Manager for the UK and Nordics, Ms Karen Confait; and Senior Marketing Executive, Ms Myra Fanchette, alongside representatives from local destination management companies and hotels.
Industry partners include 7° South; Mason’s Travel; Creole Travel Services; Anantara Maia Seychelles and Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles; Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa and DoubleTree by Hilton Seychelles Allamanda Resort & Spa; Mango House Seychelles and Canopy by Hilton Seychelles; Kempinski Seychelles Resort; Meliá Seychelles and Niva Labriz Seychelles.
One of the world’s leading travel trade events, WTM London brings together destinations, tour operators, airlines, accommodation providers and other industry stakeholders. The platform will allow Seychelles to showcase the breadth of its tourism offering while enabling the Seychelles tourism trade to engage directly with international partners.
While visitor arrivals from the UK have been affected by disruptions to air travel earlier this year, STB continues to support demand through trade engagement and destination promotion. An STB campaign is currently running on buses across Central London, with branded taxis to follow shortly.
Speaking ahead of the event, Ms Rakić said:
“The UK remains an important traditional market for Seychelles, with long-standing ties to our destination. WTM London provides a valuable opportunity to reinforce established partnerships, explore new opportunities and respond to evolving traveller needs. Through close collaboration with our local industry and UK travel trade partners, we remain committed to strengthening Seychelles’ position in the market.”
