Seychelles Government Launches Official Portal
Seychelles Vice-President
and Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication, James Alix Michel,
on Tuesday launched the country's official website. 'Virtual Seychelles' has
been designed to offer international visitors and investors alike access to
information and news on tourism, business, offshore finance, and culture within
the region, and was praised by the Vice-President as the most comprehensive
resource available on the Seychelles. Speaking at the launch of
the portal, Mr Michel called on all national organisations, including businesses
and non-governmental organisations which have not yet affiliated themselves
with the service to do so, arguing that full participation will entice visitors
and investors to: 'come to our beautiful islands to enable our business community
and people to earn a better living'. The Chairman of the project,
Joel Morgan, demonstrated the features of the site to those present at its inauguration,
explaining that it had taken over two years to develop because, in view of the
significance of the initiative, it was important not to rush the project and
risk compromising the site's quality. 'Doing this project has
not been easy by any standards,' he explained. 'Nothing of this size or nature
has been attempted before in [the] Seychelles.' .
