Top Black Travel Influencer, Abigail Akinyemi Details Mistreatment By Seychelles Tourism Board

NYC-based travel and lifestyle content creator Abigail Akinyemi had been excited about the opportunity to work with the tourism board of The Seychelles.

They had invited her to visit and create content to promote travel to the East African island nation. Now, however, instead of encouraging others to visit, Abigail wants to share her experience to warn travelers–especially Black travelers–about the poor treatment she received there. 

Abigail was in communication with the tourism board for some time prior to her trip, which took place last month. They organized and confirmed her excursions, promising that her accommodations would also be taken care of. 

But as her travel time neared, there was still no confirmation of her hotel having been booked.
