September
is traditionally a slow month for business on Praslin. Hotels and
self-catering establishments on the island are now pretty confident that
the annual Praslin Culinary&
Arts Fiesta organised in the first week of September, could be a head
start to soar growth in their tourism industry. As Seychelles gets
closer to the date, a climax of business confident has been restored on
the Island. With this new wave of business optimism,
properties prepared to see growth in domestic tourism are cutting down
on their normal applicable resident rates. New Emerald Cove is offering
50% discount for residents on half board. The hotel rate is R2300
instead of R4600.
Arno Brunlinger Resident Manager of the New Emerald Cove said Praslin Culinary & Arts Fiesta is “an opportunity for residents to stay on this secluded resort on a private
beach near Baie St Anne Jetty”.
Paradise
Sun Praslin Seychelles has also joined the band wagon, dropping the
price of R9,000 to R3,000 for resident superior room on half board.
Castello Beach Hotel follows
suit dropping prices to 50% for bed and breakfast and single room.
Raffles Praslin Seychelles, the island's luxury hotel openes its Bay
View Pool Villa, overlooking the island’s beautiful bay at a competitive
rate of 300 Euros instead of 945 Euros and its
Ocean View Pool Villa at 420 Euros instead of 825 Euros. Daryna Petlina
Assistant Revenue & Reservations Manager at the hotel said Raffles
Praslin Seychelles is proud to be associated with Culinary& Arts
Fiesta. The Ministry of Tourism and Culture said it
is encouraging to see big drop for residents in hotel rates for Praslin
Culinary and Arts Fiesta. This trend sends a positive message saying
that the Praslin tourism business is ready to take ownership of this
event.
"Cat
Cocos Ferries led the way in offering special rates for the Praslin
Cultural event, and now more and more hotels and resorts are saying let
us make the Praslin
Culinary and Arts Fiesta the event it deserves to be for Praslin. We
salute everyone who have come forward and we assure you that the
Ministry of Tourism and Culture and the Seychelles Tourism Board will
continue to work with you to make your event the success
it deserves to be" said Minister Alain St.Ange, the Seychelles Minister
responsible for Tourism and Culture.
