Managed security services in Seychelles
Business activity in Seychelles is concentrated in Victoria on Mahé, home to the government, banks and the main port, and on Eden Island, which combines a marina, residences and the Eden Plaza shopping area. Tourism is central to the economy, with hotels and resorts on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue and retail around Beau Vallon and central Victoria.
Security considerations in Seychelles
A program in Seychelles usually covers hotels and resorts, retail and offices in Victoria and on Eden Island, and private residences. Sites are spread across several islands, so posts on Praslin and La Digue need local supervision rather than visits from Mahé, and travel between islands depends on ferry and flight schedules. Seychellois Creole, English and French are the national languages, and officers on hotel and retail posts are expected to speak English, and often French.
Visitors arrive throughout the year, with busier periods during European holiday seasons. The local labour market is small, so relief officers should be identified in advance. Coverage plans should include agreed procedures for heavy rain, beach access points, marina and jetty areas, and coordination with hotel and estate security.

What languages do the officers speak?
Officers speak Seychellois Creole and English, and many also speak French. The language requirement for each post is set out in the post orders for that site.
