From August 18 to 21, Bureau Mundo will host Seychelles Week: Soul of the Oceans, a 100% online and free initiative aimed at training travel agents and tour operators from Brazil and Latin America. The program will feature five live webinars with representatives from brands that are benchmarks in luxury and sustainability in the Seychelles archipelago.
The initiative seeks to strengthen Seychelles' positioning as an exclusive, sustainable destination in harmony with nature, promoting direct contact between the Latin American travel trade and brands recognized for excellence in hospitality, environmental preservation, and integration with local culture.
Confirmed participants include:
-
North Island – Anna Luttsau, Director of Sales & Marketing
-
Raffles Seychelles – Christopher Marguerite, Sales & Marketing Coordinator
-
Blue Safari Seychelles (Alphonse Island) – Fin Lawlor, Latin America Representative
-
Creole Travel Services – David Germain, Business Development Manager
Throughout the week, tourism professionals will have the opportunity to discover experiences offered by some of the most prestigious companies in Seychelles, with a special focus on responsible tourism practices. Each session will include Portuguese subtitles and a live interactive Q&A session, fostering dialogue between the destination and the local market. All content will also be made available on-demand afterward through the platform.
In addition to the international brand trainings, the schedule includes a special talk with Brazilian professionals, who will share their insights on the destination and the importance of professional training for a transformative tourism industry.
Seychelles Week is part of a strategic movement to expand the archipelago's presence in Brazil. In July, the LPM platform launched the series “Family Travel to Seychelles”, aimed at end consumers and supported by Turkish Airlines. Now, with a B2B focus, Bureau Mundo consolidates the destination's presence through investment in content, relationships, and training.
“Seychelles Week is a valuable opportunity for agents and other professionals to understand the essence of the destination, its uniqueness, and what makes it so special for travelers. Being able to translate this into a qualified sale makes all the difference in the client experience,” says Gisele Abrahão, CEO of GVA, Seychelles' official representative in Brazil and Latin America.
In addition to the webinars, travel professionals can access the exclusive Seychelles channel on the Bureau Mundo platform free of charge, featuring on-demand videos, interviews, and training sessions. The channel will remain available even after the campaign ends.
