Seychelles Culture
Social Conventions
The people of Seychelles live a simple and laid-back lifestyle and are very hospitable and welcoming. The standard greeting is to shake hands. If invited to a home for dinner, a small gift is certainly appreciated. Casual clothing is essential and formal attire is usually only reserved for church (however, it is important to remember that beachwear should remain at the beach). Tourism is greatly controlled in order to protect and conserve the environment, as such, it is advisable to remember not to collect shells from the beach as many are used as habitats for hermit crabs. Collecting shells is strictly prohibited from national parks and reserves.
Language
Creole, English and French are the main languages spoken in Seychelles.
Religion
The majority of the population of Seychelles, around 83% are Roman Catholic. Other religions with followings include Anglican, Seventh Day Adventist, Muslim, Baha’i and other minority religions.
