MEET MASON'S TRAVEL'S NEWEST TEAM MEMBER

“Hi! I’m Ollie.” I’m the newest member of the Mason’s Travel team.

Now, I know what you’re thinking… “An octopus?”

It’s a fair question. But I like to think I’m uniquely qualified for the role.

After all, few creatures are better suited to life in the travel industry:

Like Mason’s Travel, octopuses are known for being adaptable, intelligent and remarkably good at juggling multiple roles at once.

I also share more than a passing resemblance to Seychelles’ leading DMC. We both have DEEP local knowledge of this wonderfully complex destination, and our DNA is firmly anchored to Seychelles’ marine experiences, natural heritage, island traditions and the authentic encounters that make these islands so remarkable.

Most importantly, we both understand that these are things to be celebrated, shared responsibly and protected for generations to come.

So while I may be small, I take my role very seriously.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM ME?

A few surprises, a little humour, and plenty of island stories along the way, as I explore Seychelles one adventure at a time!

SO FAR I'VE BEEN KEEPING BUSY...

  • I flew to the UK to attend Experience Africa in June, with our UK Sales Reps, Ian and Kay.
  • Did you know Seychelles brews its own craft beer called Zil Kreol? I visited the brewery in July.
  • My first-ever hotel visit at the exquisite Denis Private Island in August. I didn’t want to leave!

Not bad for my first few weeks on the job! Later this month, I will be flying to Paris and Dubai, to attend IFTM Top Resa 2026 and ATM 2026. I am looking forward to meeting our partners in the region!

Just like the team I represent, I’m always ready to lend a helping hand… or eight! Please feel free to contact me and the rest of the sales team at masons-sales@masonstravel.com

Many people are surprised to learn that Mason's Travel has appointed an octopus as a destination ambassador.

I’m surprised nobody thought of it sooner…

Warmest island regards, Ollie
