Emirates Holidays puts students in the picture with Seychelles film project

Emirates Holidays linked up with Seychelles Tourism Board to send a party of HCT students to the Indian Ocean island paradise and host them on a week-long filmmaking tour of resort hotel locations.

Now the documentaries - "Travel to Nature with Emirates Holidays" - are being showcased this week as part of Dubai Summer Surprises, with daily screenings at the Mall of the Emirates alongside exhibits of the project.

Emirates Holidays' support of the HCT student project is part of Emirates Group's commitment to development of U.A.E. national talent. The Group currently employs 1,300 nationals, 30 per cent in senior management.

The party of seven local national HCT students and their tutor were flown to the Seychelles by Emirates Holidays, and hosted for a week by the Seychelles Tourism Board. They were taken to various islands of the tropical paradise to film tourist attractions and resort hotels.

The students produced five 10-minute films, which in addition to being screened throughout the days and evenings all this week at the Galleria of the Mall of the Emirates, are also being shown on an E-Vision broadcasting channel.
