The Seychelles
During her Commonwealth tour the Queen will be visiting the group of tropical islands in the Indian Ocean which, because of their coral beaches, turtles and coconut palms, and - up to now-their inaccessibility. have come to be known as the last paradise.
But with BOAC now operating a regular weekly service, the package-tour operators and the property dealers are moving in. Can the islands survive the tourist invasion? In a year's time what will be left of this tropical paradise?
