The fair which recorded a number of 15,231 visitors, is set to be the confirmed point of reference for the fishing lovers, thanks to its contents, numbers, meetings and number of associations attending 25 for this edition.
Seychelles took part in the fair for the first time, promoting its waters, amongst the richest fishing grounds in the world, and active holidays in the archipelago.
International sport and recreational fishermen enthusiastically return each year to these waters that already boast world records for striped bonito, bonefish, giant guitarfish, tuna and many other.
Seychelles has also become the epicenter of salt water fly fishing on the magnificent shallow flats of the outer islands and blue-water fly fishing is also becoming increasingly popular.
The fair was the perfect platform to promote the richness of the archipelago. This year much attention was also given to sustainability with the contribution of scientists and experts, exploring new ways to develop this sport without harming the ecosystem.

Great enthusiasm was given to the novelty of this year the Tenkara Village, a pavilion dedicated to this new fishing technique from Japan, with popular guests and international experts.
Seychelles stand received great attention from members of the public who were new to the idea of booking a holiday in the tropical paradise enriching the stay with thrilling fishing excursions and experiences.
