About Us
We are your local connection in the Republic of Seychelles!
Bonzour and meet Pascal Esparon and his team at Holidays Seychelles, your local connection in resplendent Seychelles! Pascal is the director working on Mahe Island alongside Lisa and Suzy, Didier and Terry are based on Praslin Island, and Marcela and Nicole are Seychelles Tourism Academy students on apprenticeship with Holidays Seychelles.
Founded in 2008, we are a Seychellois owned company based on the islands of Mahe and Praslin. Because we are local, we have a solid knowledge of the 115 gorgeous granitic and coral islands in their various aspects, as well as the support of an experienced team of professionals working on the ground in Seychelles to provide you with the best eco-friendly travel available in this tropical paradise. By booking with us, you will be receiving expert technical advice as well as personalised service ensuring your Seychelles vacation will be unforgettable!
Our goal is to promote eco-tourism and adventure in a professional and responsible manner. We are focused on educating the inhabitants of the Seychelles as well as tourists on the importance of conservation of the islands, sea, coral reefs, and animal life. We have incorporated a forum about conservation on our site and started discussions with local schools to place information from their Eco Club activities online and share and exchange with other schools around the world.
We firmly believe in the importance of preserving the Seychelles' natural environment and educating others with the hope that hundreds of years from now the natural habitats and beauty of the islands will be equable. We, along with future generations, must be aware of the benefits, risks and dangers of mass tourism and we understand in order to effect change we must be an active part of that change and are focused on activities that contribute to local sustainable development in the Seychelles.
Meet the Team
Pascal Esparon is the founder of Holidays Seychelles and likes the simple, relaxed and casual way of life on the islands. After working 32 years for a global telecom company in telecommunications and IT, Pascal asked himself whether he had fulfilled his ambitions and realised he wanted to use his knowledge creating change and preserving his country. Born in the Seychelles and growing up an island boy, Pascal has always loved the outdoors and lived an active life bodybuilding, practicing karate, boating, and spending time at the beach and in the water. He has two teenage children who keep him occupied and sprightly.
Lisa has a passion for travel but chooses to live in the Seychelles because she's never seen a unique paradise like her native country. When she's not working, Lisa loves spending time with friends, sunbathing on the white sandy beaches and swimming in the crystal clear ocean. She misses her native island of Praslin but now lives in Glacis, one of the best parts of Mahe Island in the North, and feels working with Holiday Seychelles is a grand opportunity.
Suzy Marimba also originates from the Seychelles and joined the Holidays Seychelles team in May 2008 after graduating from the Seychelles Tourism Academy in May 2008. She comes from a large family and is a friendly person who enjoys reading and likes to give a helping hand wherever she can.
Didier has been involved in the tourism sector in a different manner, as he has been building hotels and villas for over 10 years. He is very familiar with the trade and is looking forward to a successful future as Holidays Seychelles works to enhance the industry. Like his colleagues, Didier believes in the protection of their heritage for posterity.
