CELEBRATING SERVICE EXCELLENCE
The Lospitalite Service Excellence Awards are not just about recognition—they are a rigorous test of quality. Winners are determined through independent audits, assessments, and mystery shopper interactions, ensuring that only the highest standards of service are celebrated.
This year’s ceremony, held at Savoy Resort & Spa, brought together Seychelles’ tourism leaders, government officials, and industry pioneers. The handcrafted trophies, designed by local sculptor Joseph Norah, symbolise dedication, pride, and the true spirit of Seychellois hospitality.

BEHIND THE SCENES: THE DRIVING FORCE OF EXCELLENCE
We extend a special mention to Mr. Gerard Port-Louis, our Training Development & Quality Assurance Manager, whose tireless efforts in coordinating our award campaign have been instrumental in achieving these milestones.
Mason’s Travel’s continued success reflects a broader commitment to raising service standards across Seychelles’ tourism industry. By setting benchmarks for excellence, we help ensure that every visitor experiences the warmth, authenticity, and professionalism that define Seychellois hospitality.
As the 5th edition of the Lospitalite Lafyerte Sesel Awards is launched, Mason’s Travel remains dedicated to innovation, quality, and service from the heart. We invite you to experience the difference with us—because in Seychelles, excellence isn’t just an award, it’s a promise.
