Organized as part of SportBeach by the sea, in partnership with the Dominican Republic, the evening brought together 350 attendees, including 180 travel agents. The troupe of the Dominican ballet notably set the rhythm of the night.
Time highlights of the event: the indispensable partner workshop where hoteliers, airlines and the tourism office could present their latest offerings.
Julien Cisneros alongside his brother Sylvain, both co-CEOs of Exotismes who will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year, recalled “ No algorithm will ever replace listening, advice, empathy of real people ”
If the tour operator is working on developing technological tools, it is to better support the sellers: “ Travel is not a good that we put on a shelf (…) we always need more humans, especially in this period of incessant change. ” he added.
