the most romantic city it is according to the research conducted by

with charming beaches, beautiful scenery, not densely
populated, full of classical British architectural style,
just like a paradise on earth, average temperature is about 27c, all
these make people become more passionate.”
The Seychelles Tourism
Board received this news selection with great pride. Elsia

this selection comes at an opportune time as great marketing efforts
are being put on the Asian market visitors.
“Seychelles remains
the idyllic destination attractive not only for romance but an array
of niche markets such as Eco- tourism, sailing, wellness &
spa, diving, snorkelling and deep sea fishing to appeal to our
visitors,” has said Mrs Elsia Grandcourt.
