Economy
In a few years, the Seychelles economy expanded and became diversified in several industries namely the tourism, fishing, subsistence farming, agriculture, manufacturing, oil drilling and real estate sectors. Since the Seychelles independence in 1976, the impact which the tourism industry has had is terrific. International airports, nature preservation, tourism packages, luxury accommodations, guesthouses have emerged. Despite the influx of tourism, the fishing industry is still positioned in the first place. Seychelles has one of the biggest reserves of fish in the world with more than 1000 species. Agriculture and farming are also popular industries and contribute to the import and export activities.
