St Ange said he is happy to be choosen as representative and that his tourist stragety in Seychelles is therefore literally good and recognize by the world.But you know what StAnge before recognition by the world we want to see a policy that physically work for our toursim industry so far the results have been medioc,has not generate enough job creation,revenues for the country.In other words,a policy to be recognized must work ,St Ange,yours is not working,and any proffesional in the industry can tell you that anonimously,and IMF bailing over and over pp is another proof,just as Mr Afif and Co,creating a new Airline.

Less tourists this christmas season though it suppose to be our hh season.No activites for Praslin population on Christmas dito for tourists.
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that tourism is out of control in parts of the world, irreversibly damaging the environment and indigenous cultures and Seychelles is no exception where the effect of the unplanned or mismanaged growth of the tourism industry is very well apparent. Alain St. Ange was known once as 'Petit Prince des Iles' after the Coup and Papa St. Ange was king of La Digue. Much of his touristic strategies are orientated from PP strategies, whose logic was to give those 'blacks' music, drink, food, dance and they will be happy, think of nothing else and will vote for you!
ReplyDeleteIt is a tradition in Seychelles and will never die, those ti noir will always surport their masters. They are always happy as long you give them their Guinness,lapire dal,sigaret,food, music and for sure they will vote for you. Those kind of people can't see anything pass their nose. C'est vraiment deplorable.
ReplyDeleteSt.Ange is doing what the pti nwar was doing during the slave period that is make his master (Jam) happy with his performance. Alain do you think for a second that Jam and PP elite will replace you in the place of Faure? Penser bien!
