14 Opportunities for improvement in marketing Market research in existing markets types of visitors for each park expectations of visitors requirements (>$2000) Business Plan (Market and Investment strategy, research into development of new packages) (>$2000) Production of guide books for each park ($ $20000) Increased visibility through exhibitions
15 Tourism Activities and MPA s Many tourism related activities in the Seychelles could potentially affect coral reefs and are regulated to certain degree. More than half of the tourists that visits the Seychelles either dive or snorkel and as thus have a potential to greatly impact coral reefs. Yachting has also become very popular and this has increased negative impacts such as pollution and coral damage. Increase in the number of hotels located inside MPA have also increased problems such as pollution and sedimentation.
16 Challenges Coastal developments especially tourism - Sedimentation, pollution, erosion etc... Increased pressure from Fishers Lack of Human resource Occasional oil pollution from ships (mild) Climate change (coral Bleaching, coastal erosion, sea level rise)
17 What is being done? Increase of enforcement Best practice for snorkelling and diving Glass bottom boat visit restricted to certain sites so as to restrict the area that could be directly affected by physical contact of snorkelers with the reef. All development, including tourism, requires an E.I.A study so as to limit the potential impact on the coral reef and marine environment Mooring areas are designated and Mooring buoys are installed. Capacity building and recruitment of staff Education and Awareness
18 Conclusion Marine Tourism brings revenue and jobs contribution to economy Includes a number of challenges Management has to overcome challenges and ensure sustainability Responsibility of all stakeholders to preserve environment
19 Thank You for Your Attention!!!
