A highly developed business tourism

A particularly touristic region, the French Riviera has everything to seduce: a mild climate all year round, a rich heritage, the sea, and the mountains. All the ingredients are gathered to spend unforgettable vacations. As proof, the ‘Observatoire du Tourisme’ counts no less than 11 million visitors on average each year, half of whom come from abroad and almost 2 million from outside Europe. It is therefore not surprising to want to use this environment in a professional setting. According to the same organization, 16% of all stays on the French Riviera are for professional reasons.

The 2nd largest airport in France

The region also offers the advantage of being particularly well served. Nice, for example, has its own airport right inside the city. This is rare in France, as airports are generally built on the outskirts of cities. If you wish to go to Paris by plane, it will take you at least 45 minutes from Orly airport to reach the hyper center and one hour from Roissy airport. It will take you less than 20 minutes in Nice to reach the heart of the city. Bus, tramway, private drivers, all transportation solutions are available from the exits of terminals 1 and 2.

Sublime 5-star hotels

The Côte d’Azur’s accommodation offers also explain why companies are turning to this destination for their business trips. The region is one of the most buoyant hotel sectors in the whole of France. It alone has more than 17,000 hotels, including some particularly prestigious addresses. After Paris, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region has the largest number of luxury establishments. In fact, nine of them bear the title of “palace”, the highest distinction that can be awarded to this type of establishment.

What a DMC agency can do for your company trip to the French Riviera

A DMC agency or incoming agency is a company that will oversee the organization and execution of corporate trips and events. Most of them, like La Maison by GTS, will use their countless years of experience as well as their address book to prepare the best event for their client. Indeed, these agencies, unlike “classic” travel agencies, are responsible for accompanying their clients in all aspects of the trip. These can be logistical, ranging from booking air tickets, local transport or hotels, to on-site reception, airport transfers, etc. Some aspects will rather concern the trip itself, the booking of restaurants or the management of meals, the organization of visits of the region (museums, panoramas…) and finally the creation of corporate events, team building, incentives, parties or creative workshops are some examples among many.

Why use a DMC agency?

To sum up, a DMC agency will act as a single point of contact between service providers and clients. It will bring an enormous advantage to the client company. First and foremost, thanks to its expertise, it will optimize the booking process from A to Z, saving its client dozens of phone calls and countless invoices. Then, on the spot, the agency knows the relevant events and places to see or do and can adapt it to its clients. It can therefore offer the client unique ideas for activities and cultural itineraries. Finally, and this is what distinguishes it from an agency with “classic” and pre-established packages, a DMC will not only create a tailor-made offer according to the specific needs and objectives of the client company, but will also take care of all the necessary arrangements.
