Vice-President Joseph Belmont is on a three-day visit to London during which he will launch a number of initiatives for the Tourism industry.

He will conduct meetings with key UK airline operators and a number of important tour operators which feature Seychelles.

VP Belmont will also be meeting with the UK Minister in the Foreign & Commonwealth office, Mr Chris Mullins.

Earlier on Monday June 14, Mr Belmont held a series of meetings with heads of BBC Worldwide aimed at exploring opportunities for better coverage of Seychelles news and features on tourism and the environment.

He also gave an interview to BBC World Service Radio which is expected to be broadcast in the next 48 hours.

Later on Monday evening London time the Vice-President kicked off a novel initiative to promote Seychelles through Art, by opening an exhibition of limited edition prints of the islands by a renowned British artist.

The exhibition launched "The Seychelles Collection" which will see well-known international artists paint Seychelles themes for sale to art lovers worldwide over the next few years.

The event is part of the initiative of the STMA to diversify avenues for the marketing and promotion of the Seychelles brand in key European markets.

VP Belmont is due back in Seychelles on Thursday morning in time for the National Day celebrations.
