Seychelles promotes sustainable tourism and biodiversity conservation
The Seychelles is focusing on balancing its tourism industry with the preservation of its unique ecosystems. The archipelago, consisting of 115 islands, is home to rare species such as the coco de mer palm and the hawksbill turtle.
To protect biodiversity in areas like the Vallée de Mai, the government and local organizations are promoting sustainable travel. This includes eco-friendly accommodations on Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue that utilize renewable energy and local food sources. On La Digue, low-emission transport like cycling is encouraged.
While often perceived as a luxury destination, Seychelles can be visited affordably through strategic planning. Travelers can reduce costs by avoiding peak months—July, August, and December—and opting for self-catering accommodations.
