Just like the much-awaited
colorful Christmas decorations around Victoria during the month of
December, people start feeling the excitement of carnival spirit once
they see carnival décor and posters going up.
For all walking by or driving past the Seychelles National Cultural
Centre, it must have been hard not to notice the massive 20 by 3-meter
billboard banner announcing the upcoming “Carnaval International de
Victoria” 2015 event.
The sponsorship of this banner was made possible through the works of
Seychelles consul and tourism ambassador in Tanzania, Maryvonne Pool.
Miss Pool has also sponsored the backdrop banner which will be used
on stage for the official opening at the People’s Stadium along with one
which will be placed behind the VIP sitting area.
Her commitment as a faithful key partner of the Carnaval
International de Victoria started since the first edition of the
carnival in 2011 and her contributions have been much appreciated by the
Seychelles Tourism Board.
“Maryvonne Pool is one consul and tourism ambassador who has openly
supported our events and offered her assistance, and for that we are
very grateful,” said Sherin Naiken, Chief Executive of the Seychelles
Tourism Board. On his part, Alain St.Ange, the Seychelles Minister
responsible for Tourism and Culture, said that Maryvonne Pool, although
not directly involved in the tourism industry of Seychelles, appreciates
the importance of such an event that helps to keep Seychelles and the
Indian Ocean region visible and in so doing relevant on the tourism map
of the world.
Seychelles is a founding member of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP) .
