Discovery Trains will host, on October 8, 2026, a Travel Talk dedicated to marketing rail travel.

For 45 minutes, the agency specializing in train journeys will present to tourism professionals the various possibilities offered by rail, particularly in the premium segment.

According to Discovery Trains, rail travel is sometimes viewed by travel advisors as a product that is hard to sell and less lucrative.

“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.

The Travel Talk will take place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 11:00 to 12:00, including 15 minutes allocated for questions and answers. The webinar is free and reserved for travel professionals.

A draw will conclude the session, with train tickets and rail passes to be won.

Royal Caribbean a réuni plus de 500 agents de voyages venus de toute la région EMEA à bord du Legend of the Seas pour son plus important « Seminar at Sea » jamais organisé.

Pendant five days, les professionnels ont pu se familiariser avec le nouveau navire, premier de la Icon class à naviguer en Europe, et approfondir leur connaissance de l’offre de la compagnie.

Les participants ont notamment découvert les différentes catégories d’hébergement, les expériences proposées à bord, les principales escales du navire ainsi que le portefeuille de destinations Ultimate de Royal Caribbean. Ils ont également pu tester en avant-première le nouvel outil de traduction en direct basé sur l’intelligence artificielle, avec des contenus audio et des sous-titres disponibles dans plusieurs langues.

Royal Caribbean : formation et immersion à bord

The program combined training sessions and product discovery. The agents were notably able to participate in Legend Quest, an interactive experience in the form of a game that lets participants explore the ship and its various activities.

They also had access to roughly 40 dining, drinks and entertainment experiences offered onboard, including the new Hollywoodland Supper Club and the show Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The itinerary also included calls at Palma de Mallorca and La Spezia.

Royal Caribbean emphasizes that this format should enable travel partners to better grasp the experience offered to their clients and to strengthen their expertise on the company’s offerings.

Niagara Parks invites tourism professionals.

On the occasion of a workshop organized on June 11, 2026 at Flow Paris, French travel agencies and tour operators will be able to discover the latest developments.

At the heart of this 2026 season, Niagara Parks pursues a dual strategy: enriching the on-site experience and simplifying the purchasing journey for travel agents and tour operators.

The destination, which stretches over more than 56 kilometers along the Niagara River, thus broadens its offering. The season’s program highlights a diversification of outdoor activities and new technological attractions.

On this occasion, travel agencies and tour operators will be able to discover several major innovations, notably the Niagara Takes Flight project, presented as the province of Ontario’s first flying theater, as well as guided walking and educational tours. A new consolidated pricing system, the Niagara Falls Pass, will also be introduced to simplify visitors’ site experiences.

A network of Canadian partners mobilized for French travel agents

This meeting will allow industry professionals to engage directly with a delegation of Canadian representatives. In addition to the Niagara Parks office, several major operators from the region will attend, including transport companies Niagara City Cruises and Niagara Helicopters, as well as local hotel groups such as Fallsview Group, Canadian Niagara Hotels, and the Old Stone Inn Boutique Hotel.

To close the event, the organizers will offer various professional activities. A raffle will notably enable participants to win gift cards as well as a two-night study stay on site.

This trip will include access to local transport facilities, a helicopter sightseeing flight over the area, and an on-site welcome at the Table Rock Welcome Centre, the main observation point overlooking the Horseshoe Falls.
