A Structured Management Team
With this addition, the management committee is strengthened around its cofounder and CEO, Luis Roche.
The organization is now structured around three hubs: Adrien Champagnat in charge of commercial operations; Gaël Lejay overseeing pedagogy; and Frédéric d’Hauthuille directing development.
The stated objective is to continue the organization’s growth while consolidating its position in technical training aimed at travel agencies and tour operators.

An Expanding Training Offer
Prodesti currently offers a catalog covering 36 destinations worldwide.
The trainings, lasting 3 hours and 30 minutes, are available at two levels: “Connoisseur” to acquire the basics of a destination, and “Specialist” to deepen itineraries and offer more specialized experiences.
Primarily delivered via videoconference, these trainings can also be organized in person on request from some agencies. The organization further states that it is working on launching e-learning modules to adapt to the constraints faced by tourism professionals.
Prodesti has also begun steps to make its trainings eligible for the Personal Training Account (CPF), in addition to funding already accessible through the OPCOs.
Furthermore, in a bid to maintain the on‑the‑ground expertise of its instructors, Prodesti renews its partnership with the airline Air Europa. This alliance is intended in particular to support ongoing training across several destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, or Colombia.
