Duco France promotes excellence of French hospitality

The first annual Duco France, the destination-oriented travel event in Paris organised by Duco Travel Summit, is underway this week.

 

Following the significant success of its sister event, Duco Italy, the Duco team has expanded to add this annual invitation-only niche French initiative, focused on the high-end travel industry in France. 

 

The event is being held from October 11 to 15.

 

“It is an honour to inaugurate Duco France, a niche initiative focused on promoting the excellence of French hospitality to the world’s most important travel agencies. Our commitment is to support high-end tourism in France and contribute for the best results for the destination, by bringing experts together, fostering education and keeping the curiosity alive, year-round," said Carolina Perez, Founder of Duco.

 

Duco France’s four-day “Vive La France” experience celebrates France’s world of refined hospitality, showcasing the country’s diverse beauty and culture, while promoting a full immersion in French lifestyle. A carefully curated selection of the most important high-end hoteliers and travel suppliers, including icons of French hospitality, along with the most elegant boutique properties, have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with the world’s top English-speaking travel advisors and travel specialists who focus on France. 

 

Attendees dive deep into a wealth of destinations within France, beginning with enriching 15-minute daytime appointments and continuing with Duco’s engaging evening events.

 

Duco’s Exhibitors include France’s top high-end hotels and experiences, elite inbound tour operators as well as exclusive villa rental companies. Buyers are composed of a selection of world-class travel professionals and highly qualified frontline travel advisors who are invited and hosted by Duco. 

 

This year’s theme, ‘Vive La France’, celebrates the country’s deep heritage along with the splendour, allure and savoir faire which are all cornerstones of French hospitality excellence. Duco invites guests to be inspired by the irresistible French lifestyle and uncover the country’s many hidden jewels from North to South and East to West, exploring off-the-beaten path experiences from quaint medieval villages to majestic mountains, charming markets and breathtaking coastline.

 

Duco France is a ground-breaking initiative and the first travel summit to focus on France as one single destination, highlighting the excellence of French hospitality to the world’s most important buyers. With Duco, France is on the calendar of the world’s finest travel events with its innovative approach to arranging meetings every day in a different venue.

 

Beyond the annual event in Paris, Duco France is a channel for the year-round promotion of France. Duco Galerie was inaugurated in 2021 with an online showcase that offers insights into Duco France’s hotels, as well as hidden secrets for every region, delightful dishes, and other creative content at your fingertips. In spring 2021, Duco Virtuel, the online one-to-one meeting program, was held for the first time and has tapped into the network for a much-anticipated live event. 

 

Created by the Brazilian-Italian entrepreneur and event specialist Carolina Perez, Duco France has been designed to foster networking opportunities between top French hospitality providers and the best travel advisors from key markets such as North America, UK and Australia. - TradeArabia News Service
