NATALIE BIDS FAREWELL TO STB

Last Friday Natalie Savy hosted a lunch for some of the STB staff who had helped her in her capacity as the Marketing Manager of STB.  Natalie could have preferred if the lunch hosted was in honour of her promotion to the position of General Manager of the organization.  After all, over the last few years it would appear that everybody was so happy with her and her dedication to Seychelles tourism that her expectations was fully justified.  However, this doesn’t appear to have been the view of Maurice Loustau-Lalanne who replaced Ambassador Sylvestre Radegonde as Chairman of the STB.  There appears to be a lot of internal unhappiness within STB since Mr Loustau-Lalanne has decided to bring in outsiders to assist him. It is understood that Natalie will take over the position of Marketing Director of the Banyan Tree replacing Fiona Lane who will be leaving for London shortly as the Banyan Tree UK representative.
