Seychelles and Kenya Airways Partner to Attract North American Tourists with Safari and Beach Packages
Seychelles, an island nation where tourism is the primary economic contributor, is collaborating with Kenya Airways to draw North American tourists. This partnership aims to offer combined safari and beach holiday packages, leveraging Kenya Airways' non-stop flight service from New York to Nairobi and subsequent connections to Seychelles. David Germain, the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) representative for the Americas, highlighted the significant potential of these packages during a meeting with Anthony Brinn, the US commercial manager for Kenya Airways. The initiative seeks to encourage travelers already planning a safari in Kenya to extend their vacation with a trip to Seychelles, showcasing the diverse natural beauty and vibrant cultures of the African continent. Recent travel disruptions in the Middle East have also increased interest in alternative travel routes, making East African corridors more appealing to international flyers.
