Alain St.Ange, the Seychellois Tourism Consultant was one of the invited personalities who took to the podium to address those gathered at Oxford University.

Alain St.Ange is the tourism consultant who works alongside many a Tourism Board and Ministry of Tourism on the African Continent and in the ASEAN Block Countries, is a former Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine of the Seychelles who is today a sought after speaker on tourism and tourism marketing, aviation and the new trend simply referred to as sustainable tourism development. He was also his country’s candidate for the post of Secretary General of the UNWTO in 2017 and one of the three Candidates vying for the post of President of Seychelles in the island’s 2020 Presidentail Elections.

In his address at Oxford University St.Ange spoke about the Seychelles position as ‘friend of all and enemy of none’, a position he says the mid-ocean islands of the Seychelles embraced since its Independence from Great Britain in 1976. “It is a stand that has kept Seychelles out of conflicts and a stand that opened doors for Seychellois travelling in the four corners of the world to be welcomed as friends” said Alain St.Ange.

On the 3rd of October, the Seychellois tourism consultant was again on the speaker’s list at Oxford University at an event entitled the “Mental Health Global Summit” that focused mostly on Mental Health that aimed at creating a platform for all those involved to collaborate toward a solution to the global proportions of Mental Health. “This event at Oxford University was the opportunity for me to touch on stability and confidence for each and everyone through peace, through the ability for progress and through each and everyone’s ambition for prosperity” said St.Ange who took to the podium ahead of experts in the field and speakers who related their personal challenging experiences that kept those in the room in awe.

The Seychelles tourism expert showed in his address that tourism as an industry is the best way forward for embracing peace and for providing employment for so many and in so doing ensuring a better state of mind for everyone.

At the closing of the event at Oxford University, Alain St.Ange was one of the delegates to be recognised by the International Mind Health Academy of London in the UK and appointed “International Mind Health Ambassador”.
