Hi Maricela, I really like the theme and colors you used in this infographic, it’s visually appealing. I was surprised to learn how important tourism is to Seychelles and its economy. I wish real images of Seychelles could’ve been used instead of AI, but I understand that there probably weren’t a lot to choose from. Great job!
I had never heard of a place where tourism outnumbered the number of locals that actually live in a country. The perspective change in an African country that is prospering from tourism and benefiting the local should be an example that other countries should follow. Although the over-reliance does bring issue to light such as climate change impact and the environment strains since tourist are less likely to care for their plastic footprint since those people would be leaving and would not be living there to see the effects. Inequality continues to create a social class gap as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Although the country is thriving seeing the effects in 2020 of the economic reliance on tourism goes to show that Seychelles is not prepared to grow in other fields that put less stress on the environment. Would Seychelles be able to clean the contamination from the tourism industry?
What surprised me most about this country is its tourism, resulting in more people visiting than living there. The best part of this infographic was the blue economy model, which helped explain the sustainable use of marine resources, focusing on eco-tourism and economic diversification. This was a great presentation, excellent job.
You provided a very creative presentation of The Seychelles. I liked all your AI generated images and the Blue Economy diagram. The Seychelles looks like it would be a great place to visit. What I am curious about is what did they do to survive Covid-19 since 42% of their economy is driven by tourism? Fishing is their second source of income, but it pales against tourism. According to your graph, they suffered for two years. This is a huge deficit to overcome for such a small country.
Climate change is another looming threat for The Seychelles. It is reassuring to see they are thinking strategically against this impending threat since they are out in the middle of the Indian Ocean alone. According to your presentation, they do not have many options. Great job and a lovely presentation.
Something I learned about Seychelles that surprised me is that there is a bad side to tourism, this had never crossed my mind! What most surprised me is that tourism has an impact on climate change because there are just so many people. The best part of this infographic is that there are a lot of visuals, just from the graphics used I can tell that Seychelles is a beautiful country. I really liked this infographic and found it very informative. Amazing job!
Fascinating, though the Seychelles stands on its own as a small island, the country itself really seems to pile a lot onto tourism being its main sector right behind fisheries. Though, as you shown, this does have a good help for the country. The fact it makes up majority of revenues mean that if anything happens that leads to a tourism crash, it can destabilize the entire country. The economy of the nation suffers, which was shown in the covid graph which is interesting, but still scary to think about just cause of its ramifications. Nothing else to really ad infographic wise, looks neat and is visually appealing. Great work!
1) The most interesting thing to learn about is tourism would normally be a beneficial things to countries but I enjoy learning about why it may be a red flag to some if not most places in the world.
2) The best part of the infographic is the photo usage and the charts that was added!
3) I would not change anything about this infographic all the photos and words tied to them really made this infographic so cute and what I love most about it is it is in-depth but also is so easy to read that it makes you want to visit this country.
Hi Maricela!, I love traveling but have yet to ever come across your country! especially as you’ve mentioned how much it depends on tourism. I was shocked by how deep tourism is in the Seychelles economy. I found that you showing the difficulties and also the positives side of tourism to be extremely informative. Overall really well job!
I was surprised that tourism is both vital to Seychelles’ economy and also poses major risks to its fragile environment. I really appreciated how the infographic clearly frames tourism as both an opportunity and a threat and encourages the reader to think critically about impact and solutions. Amazing and stunning.
I was surprised by how deeply integrated tourism is in the Seychelles economy, not only playing a central role in the country’s economic growth but also in helping shape social and environmental policies. The most compelling aspect of this infographic is its in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities presented by tourism. I really enjoyed your infographic!
