Seychelles named world's top eco-tourism destination

Seychelles has been named the world's top destination for eco-tourism by U.S. News & World Report, largely due to its high scores in natural environment categories like protected areas and species richness. While the nation faces challenges with carbon emissions and water stress, its tourism model prioritizes high-value, low-impact experiences that directly fund conservation efforts. This approach legally safeguards vast marine areas and supports biodiversity protection through initiatives like turtle monitoring and coral reef restoration, demonstrating a successful alignment of luxury tourism with long-term environmental sustainability.
