Sad news comes from the former Seychelles Tourism Minister Alain St.Ange, who launched his Tourism Report in 2017 after returning to Seychelles following the UNWTO election, halts its publication.
St.Ange, who made a bid for the highest office for Tourism Ministers in the position of Secretary-General of the UNWTO and who only in October was a candidate for the Seychelles Presidential elections has announced that he was stopping the publication of his weekly informative and interesting “Saint Ange Tourism Report”.
Alain St.Ange has had a positive tourism career and he earned the respect of his peers right around the world as a Tourism Minister. His knowledge of the subject and the flair with which he managed the industry propelled him to be one of the most popular and respected Ministers. He was always sought after as a speaker on the tourism and aviation circuit because of his ability to deliver long ‘off the cuff’ speeches that remained to the point, interesting and topical for the industry’s forward thinking.
The Saint Ange Tourism Report had become the voice of the Indian Ocean Islands and also roped in aviation, news of the African Continent and tourism trends and development.
His report will be missed.
