The Islands Seychelles comprises an archipelago of 119 islands of which 42 are granitic in origin and 74 coral atolls, with a total land area of 459 square kilometres. The country lies outside the cyclone belt and enjoys a stable weather system with a shade temperature of around 25 to 31 degrees Celsius all year round. It enjoys an average of 7.2 hours of sunshine per day and receives over 2000 mm of rain per year. The population was estimated at 93,000 and with a growth rate of 1.7%. About 95% of the population lives on the three main islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Four islands were reclaimed a few years ago near Mahe, Eden, Ile du port, Ile de Romainville and Perseverance, on two of these namely Eden and Perseverance islands residential houses have been built and the other two are a mix of Industrial and green island vested to the development of Renewable Energy. Seychelles with a gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$ 14,680 (2015) is classified as a high-income country. Tourism and fisheries are the major industries of the economy, contributing 30% and 8% of gross domestic product (GDP), respectively.
