ACTIF Unveils 2025 Workshops For Travel Agents

Events scheduled across France focus on networking with industry exhibitors and offer exciting prizes.

ACTIF, the Association of French Tourism Industry Professionals, has officially announced the launch of its 2025 workshops aimed at travel agents, marking the return of these traditional events this spring. Set to take place across four strategically chosen locations, these workshops offer agents exceptional opportunities to engage with various exhibitors within the industry.

The workshops are scheduled for March 2025: Orléans will host the first event at Restaurant Gioia on March 18, followed by the second at Mama Shelter Paris West on March 19, then at Restaurant Villa Beach located near Mennecy/Lisses on March 25, and concluding at the Center Parcs Villages Nature near Bailly-Romainvilliers on March 27. Each venue was selected to provide not only comfortable environments conducive to productive work but also to encourage friendly interactions among the attendees.

According to ACTIF, “These unique venues have been reserved to provide a conducive working environment and promote friendly interaction for travel agents and exhibitors.” The gatherings will include 16 exhibitors from across the industry, representing tour operators, cruise lines, hotel chains, airlines, and pricing comparison services. This diversity allows agents to gain insights and forge valuable connections to enrich their business.

For those attending, exciting prospects lie beyond networking alone. ACTIF is excited to announce the availability of attractive prizes during these workshops. Travel professionals will have the chance to win concert tickets, entertainment vouchers, and even airline tickets. "Amazing prizes will be up for grabs, including concert and entertainment tickets and flight tickets," ACTIF confirmed.

Registration for the workshops is exclusively for travel agents and can be completed through the association’s website under the section “Je suis agent de voyages.” This targeted approach ensures the workshops remain valuable and relevant to those who are directly involved within the travel industry. The direct link for registration is https://www.actif-tourisme.fr/je-suis-agent-de-voyages.

This year’s workshops signal the start of what ACTIF is dubbing as a rich year for tourism engagements. Following the workshops, ACTIF plans to introduce more intimate networking opportunities, including breakfasts and cocktails, slated for June 2025. These sessions are focused on creating closer connections among industry professionals.

Travel agents eager to prepare for the year ahead will undoubtedly find the upcoming workshops invaluable. With unique venues, engaging exhibitors, and notable prizes, these gatherings promise to be significant events on the calendar for professionals across the tourism sector.
