Minister Dogley further revealed that in such a world where unspoiled natural land and seascapes are becoming a rare asset, it was a real pleasure to see European countries and destinations, including China and India, getting on board with the movement.
In previous interviews, the minister had said that Seychellois people have no choice but to sustain and maintain their environmental standards, out of sheer necessity.
