The
Seychelles Tourism Board has confirmed that the dates for the 2013
Carnaval International de Victori,a which is staged annually in the
Seychelles, are February 8-10, 2013.
Alain
St.Ange of the Seychelles Tourism Board and Pascal Viroleau of the
IRT of La Reunion stood together on the stage for the closing
ceremony of the 2012 edition of the carnival, when they announced the
dates for the 2013 edition of the carnival that has now become a
fixture on the calendar of important events in the world.
The
last edition of this carnival, which ended only last weekend, was
deemed a huge success by all who had descended on Seychelles. The
carnival of the Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands was this year co-hosted
jointly by Seychelles and La Reunion, and both islands have declared
that the event was a success.
Elsia
Grandcourt, the new CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, said
yesterday in Berlin that work has already started on the 2013 edition
of that unique carnival, which is now set to attract more and more
foreign participants year after year.
“This
carnival remains the only carnival where the best and most known
carnivals parade side by side, followed by cultural groups from the
Community of Nations. This is why our carnival remains unique,
because it is a carnival where the world parades together,” Elsia
Grandcourt said.
