In a move set to deepen tourism ties between India and the Indian Ocean paradise of Seychelles, ACE CONNECT, a boutique B2B consultancy, has been named the official India representative for Mason’s Travel, the island nation’s most trusted and experienced destination management company (DMC).

The appointment is expected to bolster Seychelles’ presence in the Indian outbound market at a time when air connectivity is on the rise and Indian travellers are increasingly seeking out luxurious, nature-rich, and offbeat escapes.

Founded as Seychelles’ first inbound tour operator, Mason’s Travel has transformed over the decades into a dynamic, full-service DMC. The company is known for its strong operational base across the archipelago, deep-rooted local partnerships, and an unwavering focus on curating immersive experiences that reflect the authentic essence of Seychelles.

Lenny Alvis, General Manager at Mason’s Travel, shared his excitement about the new direction:

“With increased air connectivity and growing interest from the Indian market, this is the perfect time to strengthen our presence in the region—and we’re thrilled to be doing so alongside Ace Connect India. By leveraging Ace Connect’s regional expertise and our shared passion for showcasing the authentic beauty of Seychelles, we’re confident that together we’ll open new doors for Indian travellers and craft memorable experiences that connect our islands with this dynamic market.”

From honeymooners to high-end FITs and family groups, Seychelles holds significant promise for Indian travellers seeking something beyond the familiar. This partnership aims to convert that potential into tangible bookings and long-term trade growth.

Amy Michel, Product & Sales Manager at Mason’s Travel, added:

“As we continue to grow our trade relationships in the Indian market, having Ace Connect as our partner brings a new level of insight and connectivity to our efforts. Their experience in the region and strong industry ties will be invaluable in positioning Seychelles as a compelling destination for Indian travellers. We’re excited to collaborate closely and translate this partnership into meaningful results for both our trade partners and future visitors.”

For ACE CONNECT, the representation aligns with its vision to connect Indian travel agents and operators with some of the world’s most compelling travel experiences.

Alpa Jani, Founder & CEO of ACE CONNECT, commented:

“We are proud to represent Mason’s Travel in India and bring the best of Seychelles to Indian travellers. Seychelles is a dream destination with unmatched natural beauty, and Mason’s Travel is the most trusted name to unlock its wonders. At Ace Connect, we are driven to deliver value and visibility to our partners, and we look forward to connecting the Indian travel trade with a destination that’s both aspirational and accessible.”

With this partnership in place, Indian travel agents can expect more support, stronger on-ground access, and curated offerings to better position Seychelles as a must-sell destination for 2025 and beyond.
