On Wednesday, July 17, 2019, the contract between PAIOI and INCHCAPE Shipping Services Mauritius Ltd, to conduct the pre-feasibility study for the development of the cruise in the Indian ocean islands, was signed in Seychelles at the Botanical House, in the office of the Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine, Mr. Didier Dogley, also President of the Vanilla Islands Association.
This is a great moment for PAIOI, which has been working on this project for several years, in partnership with the Vanilla Islands Association. This study, financed by 85% European funding (ERDF) and 15% by the French Development Agency, will be conducted over 7 months, in 3 phases, and will provide a market diagnosis of the cruise in the Indian ocean, and evaluate the existing infrastructure within the ports.
