Qatar Airways launched a strategic marketing partnership with Tourism Seychelles to support tourism recovery.

The strategic marketing partnership will spearhead recovery of tourism in the Seychelles with the two organizations collaborating to attract more visitors to the islands from across the world, taking full advantage of Qatar Airways' extensive global network.

In anticipation of the increased demand for travel to the Seychelles, Qatar Airways has increased its flights to the island destination from three weekly to daily.

HE Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said: "We look forward to working closely with Tourism Seychelles to support their recovery of their tourism sector."

Seychelles Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Sylvestre Radegonde stated: "As one of the first international airlines to return to Seychelles skies earlier this year, we are delighted that Qatar Airways is increasing its frequency to fly daily."

Speaking about the increase in frequency of flights from Qatar Airways, Principal Secretary for Tourism Sherin Francis said: "We are anticipating a rise in demand for our destination in the third quarter of 2021 and it is reassuring for us to note that flight availability is not going to be an issue for travelers. The strategic partnership that we have recently established with Qatar Airways is one that we hope will grow from strength to strength." (QNA)
