Alain St. Ange to Keynote Tourism Conference in Spain & the UK
Ambassador Alain St.Ange, the Republic of Seychelles’ Ambassador-at-Large, is en route to Alicante to deliver the inaugural address at a major international tourism conference, marking the beginning of a high-profile series of engagements across Europe.
Scheduled as the first speaker on Thursday morning, Ambassador St.Ange will join a distinguished assembly of global leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and diplomats. The event organizers highlighted his selection with pride:
“We are honoured to welcome Ambassador Alain St.Ange, Ambassador-at-Large of the Republic of Seychelles, as the Distinguished Inaugural Speaker.”
Following his address in Spain, the seasoned diplomat will travel to the United Kingdom for another prestigious engagement: the Nelson Mandela Leadership Awards 2026. Held at the historic Oxford Town Hall Council Chambers, the event honors exceptional leadership and global impact.
His invitation read:
“It is our distinct honour to extend to you an exclusive invitation… In recognition of your distinguished accomplishments and international contribution, you have been specially invited to attend as a Guest of Honour.”
A Voice for Seychelles on the Global Stage
Formerly the successful Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports, and Marine for Seychelles, Ambassador St.Ange has become a sought-after figure on the international “Speaker’s Circuit.” His prominence was notably championed by Sir James Mancham, Seychelles’ founding President, who himself was a renowned speaker on tourism, air connectivity, and sustainable development.
Speaking via email while in transit through Dubai on his way to Madrid, Ambassador St.Ange emphasized the strategic value of his presence at such events.
“Every time I stand to address a tourism event I know that Seychelles, as a holiday destination, benefits from added visibility that can only benefit positively to the island’s tourism industry,” he stated.
As the tourism sector continues to rebound and evolve globally, St.Ange’s dual appearances in Spain and the UK underscore the Seychelles’ commitment to strengthening international partnerships and promoting sustainable island tourism.
We wish Ambassador St.Ange a successful tour and impactful addresses in both Alicante and Oxford.
