The annual Carnival of Carnivals that is staged in the Seychelles is seeing final touches put together for the official opening ceremony. This event takes place in Victoria on 25 April 2014.
It has been confirmed that for this 2014 edition of the Carnival International de Victoria, the three main co-hosts (Seychelles, La Reunion and South Africa KwaZulu Natal) will all have an MC on stage who will also ensure that the island’s three official languages are used simultaneously.
Michelle Marengo, singer and artist in her own right will be the Seychelles personality addressing the event in Creole. There will also be key personalities from South Africa for English and the Vanilla Island of La Reunion will be proposing someone in the French language.
“We are a multiethnic country with three official languages. We need to ensure this is reflected in our national events. The different delegations also flying to Seychelles will all benefit from the approach of having our official opening ceremony managed in the three languages, Creole, English and French” said minister Alain St Ange, Seychelles minister responsible for tourism and culture.
Many tourism destinations also use this carnival for promoting their own tourism industry. “It is like a tourism trade fair, but here it is the country’s culture and in so doing the people of the respective countries who are being put forward instead of brochures and cocktails” said Alain St Ange.
