Seychelles enjoys publicity boost from Beckhams’ anniversary getaway
by STB

The Beckhams’ £100,000-holiday in the Seychelles islands three months ago is said to have given the destination a much-welcomed publicity boost.

Some UK tour operators, amongst them Seychelles specialist Elite Vacations, have indicated that they have seen more interest in Seychelles in the last couple of months.

“Some people speak of the Beckhams holiday when doing their bookings,” said one tour operator, whilst another stated that the news touched a lot of people and kind of swayed them towards choosing a Seychelles vacation.

Elite Vacations has said that whilst hoteliers would always seek to keep their guests’ identity secret, clearly, this was a story too big to hide.

“But it has also created some great publicity for the destination, putting it on the map as a place of great beauty. The fact the Beckhams chose to stay at North Island has also highlighted one of the many eco-based resorts in the Seychelles.”

David and Victoria Beckham flew to Seychelles to celebrate their 10th anniversary as do a lot of celebs from around the world. The islands are considered the ideal location for those leading high profile lives because of their remoteness and privacy.
