About Seychelles

Seychelles is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, widely recognized for its beaches, granitic landscapes, marine environment, tropical vegetation, and relaxed island atmosphere. The main international gateway is Mahé, where the capital city Victoria and Seychelles International Airport are located. From Mahé, participants may also explore nearby islands such as Praslin and La Digue before or after the conference.

The waters around Seychelles support coral reefs, marine parks, fish, turtles, and other island ecosystems. Boat visits and snorkeling are popular optional activities.
