In a bid to facilitate sales in the long term, Accor India jointly organised a FAM trip to Paris with Air France for ten of the top travel agents from India in March 2013. The trip was initiated with the objective of educating the agents on the many brands that Accor has to offer as well as to update them on the latest products and services.
The trip provided an opportunity for the key hotel teams to attain a better understanding of specific requirements of the Indian travellers and explore new business opportunities.
The group enjoyed their stay at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse and visited the other hotels under the Accor umbrella including ibis, Mercure, Adagio and Sofitel.
According to Jean-Michel Casse, Senior Vice President, Operations, Accor India, “As our hotel brands grow their presence in India, we are keen to familiarise our industry partners with our roots and the growing network across the world. This initiative validates our commitment not only in terms of expansion in the country but also engaging our key clients and partners in India with our global network of hotels. We know that the support of our partners is key to our success, so this is also our way of thanking the industry and reaffirming our commitment to making them feel part of the Accor family.”
