Seychelles Islands - a 5 star destination

For years now the seychelles islands has been marketed as a five star destination. The expert says that it is purely marketing, you cannot confuse the market with different messages. If you look at the statistics there is only one 5 star hotel on praslin island, nil on la digue island and the remaining 5 star hotel on mahe island you can count on your fingers. Yet there are 100’s of lower ranked establishment that has been the corner stone of the Seychelles island tourism industry for years and are still striving businesses with guest repeating year after year.

What does it mean? Seychelles Islands, a 5 star destination, it is surely not the hotels as they are few and far between. This information then forces us to look elsewhere for a more reasonable answer. The Seychelles islands are surely unique in many ways, no earth quake, no extreme weather conditions.

The Seychelles islands are now well known globally and is associated with some very special names like, garden of eden, the lost world, with virgin rain forest, green mountains, white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, abundant of marine life and a multi racial society. This is probably what they meant by a 5 star destination.
