This might seem contradictory, but it is more likely to reflect a nuanced understanding of the fragmented tourist market visiting Malta (and Gozo), so that it is pragmatic to offer both branded goods and handmade local products to different tourist markets. An attempt was made to produce a local stamp for souvenirs, ‘Made in Seychelles’, but there were problems in implementing this (McEwen and Bennett 2010: 43). State encouragement and some start-up funding from SENPA (Small Enterprise Promotion Agency) are available for local Seychellois wishing to develop handicraft businesses. Other materials are imported, but the proportions are unknown.
