Hong Kong and Macau tour operators meet with Seychelles Tourism officials

An impressive group of private sector tourism professionals, along with the island's Ambassador for China and their Tourism Board, are in Hong Kong for a workshop and meetings with Hong Kong and Macau tour operators.

The meeting and workshops were coordinated by Cheng Ning Ning Diana, the successful and influential Consul General of the Seychelles in Hong Kong and Macau. Mrs. Cheng Ning Ning opened the meeting by welcoming all tour operators and by thanking the Seychelles delegation who had traveled to Hong Kong. Ambassador Philippe Le Gall then spoke about the friendly ties that existed between Seychelles and China.
