We’re delighted to share that Mason’s Travel has been awarded Silver Recognition under the Sustainable Seychelles Recognition and Certification (SSRC) programme — an honour that reflects our deep commitment to responsible tourism and sustainable practices across the islands.

For over five decades, Mason’s Travel has been at the heart of Seychelles’ tourism industry. This recognition by Tourism Seychelles is a meaningful milestone in our sustainability journey, and a proud moment for our entire team.

WHAT SILVER RECOGNITION MEANS

The Sustainable Seychelles Recognition and Certification (SSRC) programme celebrates tourism businesses that go above and beyond to protect the environment, support local communities, and operate responsibly. The Silver tier is awarded to businesses that have implemented a significant number of sustainable practices – demonstrating not just intent, but real action.

This recognition is a testament to the many ways Mason’s Travel integrates sustainability into our day-to-day operations, from eco-conscious excursions to community partnerships and waste reduction initiatives.

SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION AT MASON’S TRAVEL

At Mason’s Travel, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s a guiding principle. Here are just a few ways we’re making a difference:

  • Eco-Friendly Excursions: Our tours to Vallée de Mai, Anse Lazio, La Digue, and Moyenne Island are designed to be low-impact and educational, helping guests connect with Seychelles’ natural beauty while learning how to protect it.
  • Local Sourcing & Support: We proudly source fresh ingredients from Seychellois farms and vendors, and support conservation efforts through monthly donations to the Green Islands Foundation.
  • Marine Protection: Our Reef Safari excursions include marine park fees that directly fund preservation efforts. Our crew is trained in responsible mooring and reef-safe practices to protect fragile marine ecosystems.
  • Waste Management: We’re reducing single-use plastics, using biodegradable products where possible, and recycling onboard waste through local initiatives.
  • Community Engagement: From blood donation drives and school partnerships to hospital refurbishments and support for animal shelters, we’re committed to giving back to the communities that make Seychelles so special.

LOOKING AHEAD

As the SSRC programme reminds us, “Sustainability is a journey, not a destination.” This Silver Recognition is a step forward—and we’re already looking ahead to what’s next. Our goal is to continue improving, innovating, and ultimately achieving full certification.

We’re grateful to our team, our partners, and our guests for walking this path with us. Together, we can ensure that Seychelles remains a vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable destination for generations to come.
