Carnaval
banner adds festive eye catching splash to Seychelles
A
mega 20 x 3 metre high Seychelles Carnaval banner now decorates the National
Cultural Centre of Victoria and will remain the eye catching sign to all
entering Victoria, the Capital of the Seychelles.
The
National Cultural Centre house the Offices of the Ministry of Tourism and
Culture.
The
Banner securely mounted on the building is sponsored by Maryvonne Pool, the
Seychelles Tourism Ambassador and the Country’s Honorary Consul based in
Tanzania. The banner was erected into place by Allied Builders as part of their
c/ontinued effort to work with the Ministry of Tourism and Culture.
This
latest sponsorship by Maryvonne Pool is considered as a valuable contribution
to Carnaval International de Victoria as it adds a festive eye catching splash
to the town of Victoria.
Fabricated
from quality high strength material the Carnaval banner erected 3 metre high on
the National Cultural Centre building paved the way for Seychelles Tourism
Board to start this weekend its downtown Carnaval decorations.
Maryvonne
Pool commitment as a key partner of Seychelles Carnaval International de
Victoria started in 2011 when she sponsored her first mega 15 by 3 metre banner
accompanied by six more three metre banners to the Carnaval first edition.
Alain
St.Ange, the Seychelles Minister responsible for Tourism and Culture used the
arrival of the banner from Tanzania to say that the carnival is for Seychelles
and its co-hosts. It is for each and every Seychellois. “Let us continue to
rally to make this great annual event what it deserves to be. Every business in
Seychelles reaps the benefits from Seychelles hosting the annual carnival. We
only need to look at the /foreign exchange intake by the country, or at the
visitor arrival numbers for the period of the carnival to see the evidence of
the benefits of the national event. Year on year the results stands out.
This is why we can say to the business community walk with us and in so doing,
you will help the consolidate your own business. Be in the carnival with a
delegation, or decorate your own business premises, come forward to help
sponsor the carnival and be seen as a friend of the carnival “said Minister
Alain St.Ange
“Maryvonne
Pool’s gesture speaks volume, let us see what others can now do” Minister
St.Ange said.
