After an ominous, post-independence start in the mid 1970s which saw them lurch from a coup, through an invasion by mercenaries to an abortive army mutiny and several further coup attempts, the Seychelles have attained stability and prosperity.
Seychelles, blessed with the unrivalled diversity of 115 granite and coralline islands, a vibrant Seychellois Creole culture and a reputation for political stability and social harmony, has its sights set on bright, new horizons. With near-perfect weather, no cyclones and a complete absence of dangerous and poisonous creatures, Seychelles lives up to its reputation of being a modern-day ‘Garden of Eden.’
The country's economy depends heavily on their fishing industry and up-market tourism. Fine beaches and turquoise seas are among the main attractions.
