Tourism Seychelles’ strategy for the North American market in 2023 is to promote the wide array of positive tourism attributes that make Seychelles appealing to North American travelers researching travel to Seychelles. This includes birding, snorkeling, sailing, and diving, amongst others, providing opportunities to discover the magnificence of the islands extending seamlessly from land to ocean.
With a climate of perpetual summer and warm turquoise waters, Seychelles offers breathtaking diving experiences in some of the oldest granite and coral waters of the Indian Ocean, diving where very few have gone before.
For over 40 years, the DEMA exhibition has been the premier, unrivaled diving and water sports event in the USA, strictly for credentialed dive professionals. Thousands of industry professionals from around the world gather at this event annually to discover new products, reconnect as an industry, and build new partnerships.
Diving is a niche market in the USA, often perceived as exotic, with about 4 million certified divers, and many of them are currently looking for new destinations and diving sites.
Seychelles continues to register a steady growth year on year from the North American market, securing its position among the top 10 markets based on visitor arrivals. Tourism Seychelles remains committed to promoting the archipelago in North America to further increase its market share.
