One of the new developments in marketing of the Seychelles as a tourist destination is the setting up of an "Affordable Seychelles Campaign" in order to offer to tourists “a once-in-a-lifetime vacation at a once-in-a-lifetime price”.This is a unique window of opportunity for visitors to enjoy the vacation they always dreamed of at significantly discounted prices.

Mr Alain St Ange faces an incredible challenge as the global recession has already impacted the Seychelles tourism industry with a 15% drop in tourist arrivals since January 2009.The "Affordable Seychelles Campaign" will be unveiled at the ITB Travel Fair in the German capital Berlin next week.
