The Seychelles Tourism Board is a statutory body that came into existence on 1 April 2005 when the Seychelles Tourism Board Act, 2005, came into force. The Act brought together all regulatory and monitoring functions of the Department of Tourism within the Ministry of Tourism and Transport, and all promotional and marketing activities of the Seychelles Tourism Marketing Authority. The Policy Planning and International Co-operation Division was retained under a newly formed Department of Tourism and Transport which fell under the vice-president’s office. The Seychelles Tourism Marketing Authority ceased to exist as legal entity. However, in 2007 all policy planning and international cooperation functions for tourism in the Department of Tourism and Transport in the vice-president’s office and the Seychelles Hospitality and Tourism Training College were transferred to STB. The SHTTC was then renamed the Seychelles Tourism Academy. This restructuring brought together all government agencies involved in tourism-related matters under one roof. The new structure meant the STB could serve and promote the industry more effectively and efficiently. It also brought better co-ordination and responsiveness with the trade partners to meeting the challenges of the tourism industry. In 2010 the portfolio for tourism was transferred from the vice-president’s to the president’s office. In 2012, a new Ministry of Tourism and Culture was created, however, the functions and roles of Seychelles Tourism Board remained unchanged. == STB Act (Amendment) == Under the STB Act 2005, STB was administered by a board of at least 12 directors, which was composed of members of the private sector and the government. It was headed by a chief executive officer for the day-to-day running of the office and administration and execution of decisions of the board of directors. The act was amended in December 2008 which changed the number of directors from 12 to 7 and abolished the post of chief executive officer. The amendment also established a Tourism Marketing Fund committee to manage the marketing fund and one committee to oversee the Seychelles Tourism Academy (ex-SHTTC). The act was amended again in December 2010 to reinstate the post of chief executive and add the promotion of eco-tourism among its statutory functions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seychelles Tourism Board」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
