“The train: a product you must learn to embrace”
The agency, on the contrary, intends to show that rail travel can constitute a valuable offering to clients, provided one masters its specifics.
“The train: a product you must learn to embrace”, summarizes Laure Jacquet, director of Discovery Trains.
The Travel Talk will address in particular the destinations and rail products likely to be offered by agencies, as well as the arguments to convince hesitant clients.
Discovery Trains will also contribute several of its partners. Autria Tourism will be the official partner of the event. Switzerland will be represented with Switzerland Tourism, the Glacier Express and the Gornergrat Railway.
The agency also plans to discuss several other rail offerings, among which Accor’s Dolce Vita Orient Express, Trenitalia, Renfe, VIA Rail, Lernidee Erlebnisreisen trains, VisitBritain or offerings in western Sweden.
