Seychelles is suited to all budgets, claims tourism board

The Seychelles has stunning scenery

The Seychelles is a good holiday destination for all tastes and budgets.

Travel insurance policyholders keen to have a holiday to remember could consider heading to the Seychelles.

According to Alain St Ange, chief executive officer of the Seychelles Tourism Board, says some people believe this "dreamy" destination is only suited to those with large budgets.

He claims this means it has been viewed as "out of reach" for others, but this is not true, as there is something suited to all types of funds and tastes.

While there is plenty of high-end accommodation, many resorts exist for others and Mr St Ange explains this has meant the country is able to "maintain its appeal as a tropical paradise".

Adrenaline junkies are likely to be particularly impressed, with scuba diving, snorkelling, bone fishing and sailing on offer.

"[The] Seychelles has mountains where you can enjoy walking and we're now launching a [new] campaign for abseiling from the mountains and walking [around] them with wires," the expert continues.

There are beautiful views to be explored from the tops of these peaks, so a number of people might like to check out the various activities on offer there.

And it could be even more accessible for many travellers, as Ethiopian Airlines recently announced it was launching a new service to the destination, with routes beginning on November 15th.

This will make it easier for people from all around the world to access the Seychelles, flying via the Ethiopian travel hub of Addis Ababa International Airport and reaching the country that Mr St Ange calls the "perfect holiday" destination.
