A press briefing was given earlier this month to officially inform the public, through the media, about the latest progress in the nomination of the Mission Ruins of Venn’s Town for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
During the conference, the Minister for Tourism and Culture, Mrs. Amanda Bernstein, shared details on the important milestone recently reached in the nomination process, following confirmation that the nomination dossier has successfully passed the technical completeness check by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and has now been officially registered for evaluation.
The Minister also took the opportunity to acknowledge and thank the partners, stakeholders, and members of the national technical team who have worked diligently over the years on the preparation of the nomination dossier.
Representatives from the various departments and agencies involved in the process were present at the press conference to provide further insight into their respective roles and contributions to the development of the dossier.
This achievement reflects a strong national collaboration in safeguarding and promoting Seychelles’ heritage and represents an important step towards gaining international recognition for one of the country’s most historically significant sites.
