Atout France Hosts 5th Offsite B2B Showcase, Explore France in Kochi

Atout France organizes the 5th edition of its offsite B2B showcase, Explore France in Kochi. A delegation of 33 French companies interacted with key representatives of the Indian tourism industry over 2 days of scheduled meetings.

Atout France – France Tourism Development Agency organised the 5th edition of its flagship B2B event, Explore France in Kochi from 10th to 12th October. The event provided a perfect platform in building successful synergies between French tourism partners and the travel trade fraternity pan India.

Over 2 days of interactive exchanges, an approximate of 1782 scheduled meetings took place between buyers and exhibitors reinforcing India’s potential as a source market for destination France. This year also marks 20 years of Atout France’s presence in India.

On 11th October ‘An Evening Under the Stars’ was organized in association with La Vallée Village – member of the Bicester collection in the presence of Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in Pondicherry and Chennai; Didier Talpain, Consul General of France in Kolkata; and Jean-Marc Séré-Charlet, Consul General of France in Mumbai. On the 12th, an interactive session on visas was organized by the Consulate General of France in Pondicherry and Chennai for all participants.

Sheetal Munshaw – Director Atout France India, shared her thoughts, “We’ve had a very satisfying turnout for this edition of our showcase. Both our partners and agents displayed strong levels of motivation and a keen interest in the showcase of destination France to the discerning Indian traveller. India is within the top 15 source markets for France and according to Oxford Economics, an estimate of 4,96,000 Indian visitors are expected to visit France in 2023. With the Rugby World Cup underway and the Olympic and Paralympic Games slated to take place in Paris next year, I believe that the interactions between our partners and agents are instrumental to establishing France’s strategic positioning as a preferred tourist destination for this year and the next.”
