Why it matters
Why Shahraah should care
Very actionable tourism-board relationship for FAM trips, hotel/DMC introductions and market development.
Scoring rationale
The re-established Seychelles Tourism Board is highly relevant to Shahraah's destination-development work: current 2026 activity includes direct B2B meetings with travel agents/tour operators, FAM-trip and hotel-inspection interest, and sharing local DMC lists with trade partners. It is not inventory, but it can materially improve supplier discovery and Seychelles product-building.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
Strong institutional route to build Seychelles product depth and qualified local supplier relationships.
What we need from them
- Pakistan/South Asia contact
- DMC/hotel introductions
- FAMs
- co-marketing
- training
- destination support
