In the heart of the Indian Ocean lies Seychelles, not just a dream destination but a beacon of hope for the sustainable tourism movement. At the forefront of the movement is Sustainable Seychelles, a pioneering initiative founded under the Tourism Department of Seychelles.

This programme aims to transform how tourists experience this archipelago while conserving its natural wonders for generations to come.

Sustainable Seychelles recognises that preserving this paradise requires more than its celebrating its stunning beaches and clear waters; it demands visionary and sustainable strategies. The programme's mission prioritises sustainability, aiming to uphold Seychelles' status as one of the world's premier destinations.

The programme goes beyond environmental impact; it strives to create transformative visitor experiences by instilling a commitment to global impact and sustainability.

Its success lies in the tangible improvements by tourism establishments through sustainable practices. Through Seychelles Sustainable Certified, a monitoring and rewarding mechanism for establishments, the programme aims to facilitate and celebrate positive impacts, both locally and globally. Establishments that embrace sustainability not only contribute to the preservation of Seychelles' natural wonders, but also receive recognition and accolades for their efforts.

Sustainable Seychelles is more than a programme; it is a movement that is redefining the future of tourism in this enchanting paradise and proving that, with the right vision, dedication, and collaboration, paradise can be preserved for generations.
