At the beginning of July 2019, Sacos, in partnership with Air Seychelles, Avani & Berjaya, launched its’ second “Great Travel Insurance Giveaway” promotion for customers purchasing a Travel Insurance Plan between 1st July and 1st September, with the aim of raising awareness on the importance of getting a Travel Insurance Cover when travelling overseas, whether for business or leisure. Having a Travel Insurance has become an essential part of travelling. It not only acts as a safety net against the risk of incurring unforeseen medical expenses but also safeguards against other travel related emergencies that could spoil a person’s trip such as trip delays, loss of passport or luggage, and many more.

The lucky winners of our second promotion received their prizes today, Friday 11th October at Sacos Head Office and Ms. Paquerette Lablache walked away with the Star-prize of a return ticket to South Africa, which was presented by Ms. Brigitte Appoo, Head of Sales at Sacos & Ms. Elsie Hurst, Corporate Relations Manager of Air Seychelles who co-sponsored the ticket. Ms. Lablache understands the benefits and protection that the Travel Insurance can offer during an overseas trip and for the last 2 years, she always ensures that she purchase her travel insurance from Sacos. Indeed, she stated, “nowadays it is becoming very tough when you travel, as you can be involved in any accidents. You are leaving your family behind and you do not know what can happen to you while you are travelling, it is therefore very wise to take the travel insurance to feel secure.” “People should not think twice to purchase the Travel Insurance!” she continued, “ I am very happy and feel very secured and safe when I purchase my Travel Insurance from Sacos”

The other winners of the promotion were: Ms, Emmelyn Porice, who won a night stay on Half Board at Berjaya Praslin Beach, Ms. Richelle Jean, who won a one night stay at on BB at Avani Resort & Spa, and Ms. Valerie Ah-Weng who won dinner for two sponsored by Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Resort.

“We are happy that through our promotions travellers are becoming more conscious and appreciate the need for them to take insurance cover when they travel” said Ms, Morel, CEO of Sacos “ I would encourage others to ensure they are protected when they travel – after all one never knows what can go wrong” she continued. “We will continue to provide our clients the protection needed, in partnership with Mapfre, our internationally renowned insurance partner, which operates worldwide and therefore provides immediate assistance for our client, wherever they are” she concluded.

Since January this year we have had three lucky travellers who have won return tickets in our “great travel insurance giveaway” as well as other prizes and that included return ticket to Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and South Africa.

On Saturday 24th August Sacos organised an outing for the residents of the elderly Home at Anse Etoile. The aim of the event was to provide a memorable day and an opportunity for the elderly to enjoy themselves in a stress free environment outside their residence, as some have not been able to go out of their home for a couple of years. The event was grounded in culture and provided a catalyst for the elderly to reminisce the good old days.

The event was organized in phases, the first phase being a road trip from the home throughout the northern region of the island from Anse Etoile through Glacis and Beau-Vallon to Victoria. The participants were excited to view the outside world beyond the home. With a smile plastered on their face, the elderly crafted the journey to Domaine de Val des Prés Craft village, where they had a chance to explore the village to their heart’s content. The village excursion also provided an opportunity for the elderly to stretch their legs and rejuvenate after an extensive trip.

At around midday the elderly made their way to the Ballet residence for a private lunching hosted by Mrs. Ballet. The attendees were greeted with welcome drink made from freshly squeezed fruit. During lunch time the attendees were spoiled for choice, as an array of Creole dishes were served as the “pièce de résistance” accompanied by traditionally made desert. As the afternoon progressed, Mrs. Ballet had a few surprises up her sleeve, whereby a symphony of traditional melody was played much to the elderlys’ amusement. From there on the festivities only flourished as the attendees danced the “Kanmtole” as if their feet had a mind of their own.  As the event drew to a close the participants were served lemon grass tea to quench their thirst.

To conclude the day, all the elderlies received a gift basket from Sacos, while other participants received memorabilia as a token of our appreciation, after which farewells were exchanged and the elderly made their way back to the home. Sacos remains a major supporter of the pillars of the community and enjoyed sponsoring the event.

The Seychelles Hospitality and Tourism Association (SHTA) has organized this initiative with the Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Foundation (SSTF) in order to encourage ecofriendly and sustainable practices. A green initiative that we have fully supported with our participation as volunteers to clean up the historical sites in Victoria.

A team of 6 SACOS staffs were posted at the National Museum to clean up the entire area and to explain and raise awareness of the effects of littering, which is illegal and an issue that Seychelles is still facing. SACOS has an important role to play in promoting a green outlook in the local community, and in becoming more environment-friendly. We have already taken several steps to embrace digitalization and this shall lead to numerous benefits for us and our customers, such as improving operational efficiency, enhancing customer experience, and adopting sustainable business practices.

We will continue contributing to environmental, social and economic sustainability and provide our continuous support to the Seychelles Hospitality and Tourism Association in their future green projects.

Sacos Here for you.
