Seychelles Government Drops Fee Increase For Parks



Government of Seychelles, specifically the Ministry of Environment tasked with administering the national parks system around Mahe,Praslin, have back tracked on a horrendous proposal made by another expert recruited from newspaper adverts, and unfortunately, hired.

The Proposal
The proposal entailed charging all hotel establishments touching a national park a rate of € 21.00 per bed single occupancy, based on 60% annual average occupancy ( annual occupancy is really 48% large hotels, 38% small hotels, both mean all hotels are generally in financial dire straits.

The Impact
A hotel like Ephelia Hotel in Port Launay will pay nearly € 2million in additional expenditure to the Seychelles National Parks Authority. In case the Seychelles National Parks Authority did not add this up, it works out to SCR. 30 Million in payments from Ephelia Resort, per year.  The people from environment are trying to increase the lease payments for the land once owned by Bill Pomeroy. Not good! bad, bad, bad idea!

La Reserve

La Reserve Hotel on Praslin will be expected to fork out another SCR 250,000.00 per month for being in the national park. Nuts! Makes one wonder what these environment guys smoke or snort?

Land Fees Proposed To Go Up SCR. 100.00

To land on Curiesse island, these environment  technos  want to hike landing fees by SCR. 100.00. This will make a day on Curiesse Island cost SCR. 300.00 from the current SCR. 200.00. Currently, we do not see a line of Tourist rushing to pay SCR. 200.00 to land on Curiesse Island.

Cousin Fiasco Landing Fee SCR. 500.00

Cousin Island run by Bird Life, charges SCR. 500.00. Bird Life pays no VAT on this fee. It pays no taxes. Excursion operators are already boycotting landing guests on Cousin Island because the fees make a sale difficult, and give the visitor the impression they're being robbed. The tour last one hour and a half, you have to pay your own way round trip to and from Praslin.

Sister Island

Sister Island charges landing fees illegally. The practice has been ongoing for years. The government receives no revenue, the public is out raged, and I will say, pissed off.
Sister island is one island which the government of Seychelles should be brave, acquire it, turn it into a national park, continue to charge the fees. An audit ought to be conducted, apply all the illegal undeclared revenue over the past 35 years to the settlement price. I assure you, it will be the last time a queer from Paris kicks a Seselwa off an island.

After much discussion, government agreed to withdraw these proposed fees in the national cross sector, which Seychelles Chamber of Commerce attended, kept the flag flying, thanks to his right good and decent, Mr. Pierre Quatre attending, while his Chairman ( Defacto ) Wilson a Nancy was absent, in mind and body, as usual....from Seychelles, but he was here.


Figure it out folks!

Sesel Pou Seselwa!

May God Bless All Freedom Loving Seycllois

A few things ...1=I donot see whz La reserve hotel must paz anzthing for behind in a Natiobnal Park noting that this hotel was built during the conoial times when such law did not exist --In other words all hotels built or boarded a National parks and was built before indepdence should not face such a fee ...On the other hand ...hotels like Ths one on Ste Anne island ,Port Lanaut ,Flecite ,Frigate hotel ...etc ...that is all hotels built after these palces were already National Aprk should be feed ......One more thing ,Paying fee for hotels in National Park should not be fianacial enticement to allow new hotels or construction in National Parks or reserves ..for in the first palce NO CONSTRUCTION should take place or have taken place in National Parks or Reserves.....

Hotels built during colonial times should not pay Fee ..while hotels asllowed to be built in NAtional Parks and reserve consciouslz bz Pl one partz government such as Guz Adams hotel at Port launaz,Franciu$$s Savz hotels at Ste Anne ,the hotel on Sihoulette .Fregate,,,,,those built under pl one party system and pl new there should be no single construction in National aprks or reserve shouldpay fee ...or thez can reject paying fees on the basis that Pl allow the consturcion while knowing that it was forbidden.

Anonymous said...

You know what ...in the first place ,,no construction should haven taken place in National PArks or reserve which is a law in a sezchelles since Independence ......I think Pl government should make those big luxurious yachts pay their fees ,,,Land leased for SR One a hundred pay their fee especially when they donot recruit Seychellois employees,Deal with financial leakage created by Indains ,Sir Lankans Expats and GOp cost us billion annually,Tell us the cost for leasing Plate Island to arabs,etc.....

Things like that will always happen under a PL regime.
It will only change when they get unseated by the people.
It will still be a big issue even LDS control the Assembly!

SO NEXT ELECTION TRY TO VOTE PL OUT. WE KNOW THEY WILL COME UP A HOUDINI OR ADACADABRA MOVE!
THEY BEEN DOING THESE THINGS EVERY ELECTION PERIOD.
THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN! LEPEP SA!
SO MY 2 CENTS ADVICE TO LDS: STAY INTACT,KEEP FOCUS,STOP TAKING BRIBES!

Pl wants to gernate money ..that is ok ,,but there are more equitable options than always trying to such out from busienses /////As mentioned prior ,,for instance introducing a Carbon Tax on all vehicles(unless vehicles are electrical ,hydrid ,gas)0

I read oin a newspaper ..that "expats find Seychelles expensive"Well Seychelles since it creation has always been expensive ..........
As for Exaps they fi d it expesneive because they are under paid ,,which is the main reason why Pl decided to allow the importation of hundr5eds of cheap slave expats ..to kill salary of Seychellois .aalow foreign businesses to fill up their pockets with the max of revenues ////The solution is pay expats as Seychellois ..then they would find it less expensive and it would help[ reduce dependency of cheap slave expats //the latter is a problems for Seychellois job seekers .create fianancial leakage ,and many other problems in our land ...from coloniza,artificially increase our population by thousadns tion ,,,depossssion of Seychellois from houseses .land .abuses of health services etc..etc..etc...

Seychellois not in business or professional placement need to stack up government jobs. Remove all expats from any gov. Post if possible. Seychellois must keep control of government, no matter what party you are from.
Gov. Posts pay well. Good conditions.
Low level positions need to go to Cheap expats. After 41 years of independence, you cannot expect Seychellois to want to aspire to be cleaners .
Those that under go rehab, need to learn technical skills.

Figure this out ...a swimmingpool of 10 meters in length ,5 mter width ,and 5 mter deep uses 175 000 liters (or M3)...which means 1000 of cubic meters of water now being used to fill up pools could be save per day .......\\Would Dogley facve this fact ,or paly the blind to pealse foreign five star hotel owners ......?
Five star hotels should be asked to equipped thmsleves with desalination system for water needed for the swimming pools ........
Time to be serious and deliver real solution and asking five star hotels to use desalination water for pool will allow us to save tons of cubic meters of water dialy which would be very consequential when dealing with save water and dealing with water shortage....

Just thin kABOUT IT ...rHUM IS SOMETHING WE INHERITED FOR OUR COLONIAL MASTERS ...AND IT IS THE CASE IN OTHER ISLAND STATES COLONIZED TOO LIKE Mauritius OR ISLANDS IN CARIBEAN ....bUT LOOKING AROUND I REALIZE THAT CULTIVATING WINES IS SOMEHING WE DIDI NOT INHERITED FROM THE COLONAIL MASTERS...AND THERE IS NO EX COLONIES WHICH PRODUCT WINE....
looking AT THE LOCAL MARKET POTENTIAL ..THAT IS TO SUPPLY RESTAURANTS ,PRIVATE HOUSE HOLDES .HOTELS ,GUESTHOUSES ,,,BOAT YACHTERS EVEN SUPPLY AIRLINES AND LOCAS THE POTENTIAL TO UINDERTAKE SUCH A PROJECT Has more potential than even RUM......

Wines is consume very day by toursits in hotels ,restaurants or airlines ,and boat charters ..thus a real interesting market to be developed and would make Seychelles the First ever Island state to product wine instead of only Rum.....
and not to ignore the bnefit it would generate..........

The wquestion could be ..Where are we going to plant it ..well the ideal place thatwil lbe ideal is at La misère ..Why La Misiere ..Well the temperature is low than elsewhere in Seychelles and at night the temperate is Cool even freezing for Seychellois who are not use to live there ,,,I myself made this experience ......
due to being a cooler spot ,thus insects ,pests are less ..which make it ideal for wine production ..this will create new jobs .industry for Seychelles and Seychellois ....
of coruse Seychellois are not experts in wine production but could easily build a joint venture with for instance a French experts etc.......

The market for wine is more interesting and would be more profitable than Rum for instance ,,and noting also that wine could have health benefit too if drink with moderation .,.like a galls or two dialy ....
One couls also produce wine just for cooking.....

Ste Anne resort to be taken over by French company MED .....however ,,I am reading that employees would be compensated which is normal ....the disturbing thing is that it seems that Expats also pocket 13th monthly salary though an Exapts recruitment and work condition is not as for a Seychellois citizen ....Why are exapts getting 13th mothnly salry pl when expat work condition is not that as a citizens ......Neither Expats nor GOps should be given 13th mothnly salry ....when recruited they discussed the condition of emploemnt and salry with employer and therefore if 13th monthly salry is not part of the contract they should not be having 13th monthly salry .......ofr their employment contract is not the same as for a Seychellois .........the latter is conditioned by governmrnt of Seychelles the former it is conditioned according to their contracts .....
