By Author

Published on August 12, 2023

In a remarkable display of its allure, Tourism Seychelles recently orchestrated a captivating three-city roadshow across India from July 31 to August 4, 2023. The roadshow, spanning Mumbai, Delhi, and Ahmedabad, illuminated Seychelles' enchanting beauty and its appeal as an exceptional leisure and luxury haven. This event played a pivotal role in fostering stronger bonds between Seychelles and the Indian travel industry.

Amidst the tourism industry's resurgence from challenging times, the roadshow had a clear mission: to bring together key players in the tourism sector for engaging interactions. Over 180 leading travel agents and tour operators from India convened, facilitating fruitful one-on-one sessions. Beyond the team from Tourism Seychelles, Air Seychelles also graced the occasion, represented by Eliza Moïse and Harshvardhan D. Trivedi. Partners such as 7 South, Holidays Seychelles, and prestigious hotels including Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Resort and Casino, Club Med, Hotel Raffles, Silver Pearl, Savoy Seychelles Resort and Spa, and Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel were equally instrumental.

Throughout the events, Seychelles' tourism representatives delved into productive discussions and networking sessions with esteemed travel agents, tour operators, and industry professionals across the three cities. The objective was to arm agents with comprehensive insights into Seychelles' multifaceted tourism offerings, affirming its status as an ideal choice for Indian travelers seeking unforgettable escapades. Attendees were offered bespoke packages and firsthand exposure to Seychelles' remarkable hospitality and thrilling activities.

Bernadette Willemin, Director General for Destination Marketing at Tourism Seychelles, emphasized, "India has been and continues to be a significant market for us. Our roadshows play a crucial role in promoting Seychelles as a year-round destination with an assortment of offerings for every kind of traveler." This sentiment echoed the commitment to expanding Seychelles' presence in the Indian market, fostering new collaborations and partnerships.

Over the years, Seychelles has resonated with Indian tourists, capturing their attention as a distinctive destination that caters to diverse preferences and age groups. The country's abundant natural beauty, untouched white sand beaches, vibrant flora and fauna, and commitment to eco-tourism have enticed eco-conscious travelers and those seeking a close connection to nature.

The roadshow proved an undeniable triumph, enriching travel trade partners with up-to-date information about Seychelles and its remarkable tourism offerings. The event served as a springboard for heightened collaboration and a promising trajectory for Seychelles in the Indian market.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines Announce New Codeshare and Loyalty Partnership

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on November 23, 2025

Etihad Airways and Vietnam Airlines have taken their partnership forward with the launch of a new codeshare agreement. This move builds on Etihad’s recently introduced Abu Dhabi–Hanoi service, creating smoother travel options between the UAE and Vietnam.

With this partnership, Etihad guests can now book onward journeys to major domestic destinations in Vietnam as well as popular cities across Asia, all on a single ticket. Travellers also benefit from one check-in and automatic baggage transfer, making Abu Dhabi an easy connection point to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: "This partnership with Vietnam Airlines delivers significant value to our guests by unlocking access to some of Asia's most dynamic and popular destinations. Our new Abu Dhabi-Hanoi service has been warmly received, and this codeshare agreement transforms it into a gateway to Vietnam's most exciting cities. Combined with our frequent flyer partnership, which enables loyalty members of both airlines to earn and redeem miles across our combined global networks, this collaboration underscores our commitment to providing our guests with greater flexibility, broader reach, and superior travel experiences."

From Vietnam Airlines’ perspective, this collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier. Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning and Development, Vietnam Airlines, said: “Vietnam Airlines is pleased to advance our partnership with Etihad Airways through this new codeshare agreement, following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024. The collaboration offers seamless access to Etihad’s network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, while allowing more travellers to experience Vietnam Airlines’ signature warmth and hospitality. Together with our expanded frequent-flyer partnership, this agreement enhances convenience, broadens destination choices, and strengthens tourism and economic ties between Vietnam and the UAE.”

The rollout of the codeshare will take place in phases. As it expands, passengers of Vietnam Airlines will gain access to six destinations beyond Abu Dhabi, Athens, Addis Ababa, Bahrain, Muscat, Cairo, and Istanbul, opening up a wider network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through Etihad’s strong connectivity.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines already have a frequent flyer partnership in place. Launched in July 2025, it allows Etihad Guest and Lotus Miles members to earn and redeem miles across both airlines’ networks. This loyalty integration adds more value to the newly announced codeshare, giving travellers broader options and smoother travel experiences.
