To take part, visitors will have to click the ‘opt-in’ button as soon as they complete the Digital Travel Authorization form that has been uploaded on the Seychelles Electronic Border System before they arrive in the country. Through email, a link to the survey will be sent, at the end of the trip, and the information will be collected and assessed by the NBS.  

All respondents can remain guaranteed that the information they feed in will be utilized for statistical reasons and that all collected responses will be unidentified. Therefore, no personal information will be shared with any third party.  

It is targeting to bring together information on visitor spending and experiences they had in Seychelles, be it on a business trip, vacation or for other reasons.
