Ma ka hihia o Tourism Seychelles ʻaʻole i hoʻohanohano i kāna ʻāpana o ke kālepa me ka influencer, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mrs. Willemin ʻaʻole pololei kāna moʻolelo.
"He mea pōʻino kēia, e noʻonoʻo ana i ka maikaʻi maikaʻi loa a mākou e hauʻoli ai me nā hoa mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua. He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo a hoʻokomo i ke kuanaʻike i ka mamao e hiki ai iā mākou ke hele i ka wā e hoʻokipa ai i kā mākou mau malihini. ʻO kā mākou hoʻolimalima holoʻokoʻa no nā hana kūʻai aku ua hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia no nā kumu nui ʻelua: kuleana mākou i ke aupuni a me ka poʻe ʻauhau, a pono mākou e hōʻoia e hoʻolilo mākou me ka naʻauao a ʻoi aku ka nui, loaʻa iā mākou ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka hoʻopukapuka ma kēlā me kēia papahana, "wahi āna. .

"Ma waho aʻe o kā mākou hui like ʻana ma ka media a me nā huakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao, e like me ka hapa nui o nā wahi, ʻo ka hoʻolaha influencer kahi ʻāpana o kā mākou hui kūʻai aku e kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike o Seychelles."
"He ākea ka laulā o kā mākou hana, me ka noʻonoʻo e loaʻa iā mākou ka helu kiʻekiʻe o nā noi no ka hui ʻana i kēlā me kēia makahiki."
"ʻO kā mākou kūpaʻa e hana me kahi influencer e hoʻokumu ʻia ma kahi ʻōnaehana vetting koʻikoʻi kahi ʻaʻole mākou e loiloi wale i kāna hoʻopili ʻana a i ʻole nā hopena akā e hōʻoiaʻiʻo nō hoʻi e pili ana kāna manaʻo me kā mākou huakaʻi a kūpono i kā mākou hoʻolālā kūʻai."
Ua wehewehe hou ka Tourism DG mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki, ua loaʻa iā Tourism Seychelles ma mua o 30 mau noi no ka hui pū ʻana i kēlā me kēia mākeke, a mai kahi 20 mau mākeke. I ka hoʻokipa ʻana i kahi influencer, ua ʻike ʻo ia e uku pinepine lākou no ka noho ʻana, nā meaʻai, nā hoʻololi, nā huakaʻi, a me nā huakaʻi a me nā logistic ʻē aʻe e hōʻoia i ka noho poina ʻana o ka malihini ma ko mākou mau mokupuni. A ma ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana no kēia, manaʻo lākou i ka hoʻokō a me ka uhi ʻana, a i ʻole ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ʻōlelo ʻia ma ke ʻano o ka ʻaelike.
Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia aia ka ʻaelike ma waena o ka ʻoihana a me ka malihini e hōʻoia i ka maopopo o ke kākoʻo a i ʻole ka hoʻokipa ʻana i ka huakaʻi no nā hoa ʻelua.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Mrs. Willemin e loiloi maikaʻi ʻia kēlā me kēia hui ʻana me kahi influencer a kaupaona ʻia i kona hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā a ua mau ka launa pū ʻana me nā hoa.
"Ma ka mālama mau ʻana i kā mākou hoʻolālā, i ka wā e hoʻopili ʻia ai mākou e kahi influencer, ʻike mua mākou inā kūpono lākou i kā mākou mau koi. Inā ʻae, komo mākou i nā kūkākūkā hou e pili ana i ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hāʻawi a kākoʻo paha i ka huakaʻi. Hoʻohana ʻia ke kaʻina hana like me Ms Akinyemi a ʻo kā mākou ʻaelike e hana pū me ia ma ka hāʻawi ʻana i kekahi mau huakaʻi. ʻAʻohe kuleana o nā lawelawe ʻē aʻe. No ke kōkua ʻana iā ia i ka logistic ground, ua hoʻopili kā mākou hui iā ia me nā hoa ʻē aʻe no kāna mau puke a ua hahai mākou iā ia i kekahi mau manawa no kāna huakaʻi i hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonohonoho i kāna mau huakaʻi e like me kāna papahana. ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā mākou kahi pane mai iā ia, "wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mrs. Willemin he mea minamina ka heluhelu ʻana i ia ʻatikala i kēia manawa ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia e hoʻāʻo e pena i kahi kiʻi maikaʻi ʻole o ka huakaʻi akā hoʻohaʻahaʻa pū kekahi i nā limahana e hana luhi nei i ka mālama ʻana i nā malihini me ka mahalo, me ka nānā ʻole i ko lākou wahi i hele mai ai.
"Ke hoʻomau nei mākou i nā ʻelele haʻaheo no kā mākou huakaʻi," wahi āna.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia aia ka ʻaelike ma waena o ka ʻoihana a me ka malihini e hōʻoia i ka maopopo o ke kākoʻo a i ʻole ka hoʻokipa ʻana i ka huakaʻi no nā hoa ʻelua.
- To assist her with ground logistics, our team had put her in contact with other partners for her bookings and we did follow up with her on several occasions for her itinerary so that we could arrange her excursions according to her program.
- Willemin said it was regrettable to read such an article now as it not only attempts to paint a bad image of the destination but also disheartens the staff who work tirelessly to make sure they treat all guests respectfully, regardless of where they come from.
