The Seychelles Investment Bureau (SIB) has launched an expression of interest (EOI) aimed at local and international investors to build a multi-story car park and kiosks at the Beau Vallon Regatta site on Mahe, according to the Minister for Investment, Entrepreneurship and Industry, Devika Vidot.
On December 1, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a new plan for the site that will include a sports complex, an entertainment area, a multi-story car park, food, beverage, artisanal and excursions kiosks, and a green area for children to play.
The government will take steps for ensuring the necessary infrastructure on the esplanade. The minister said that there would also be space for the kiosks and holding the annual Regatta in keeping with the tradition of what the space is already being used for. The kiosks will sell food and artisanal artifacts that are tourist attractions.
Vidot said the project is expected to take between 18 to 24 months and while the construction is taking place, the craft vendors will continue their business with as little disruption as possible. Those with a lease agreement with Enterprise Seychelles Agency (ESA) will be considered first for the newly built kiosks. Others who have shown interest to own a kiosk will later be assessed to see whether they meet the agency’s requirements. This plan for the Regatta site is one that has been redrawn many times in the past and there are certain elements that have remained.
