I also love nature and delicious, good quality food and being a big, amateur wine lover, I also believe the lands of my adopted region to produce the best white and sparkling wines in the region.”

Receptive Operator

A traditional travel agency doesn’t necessarily organize his own tours. He often turns for his work to the receptive operator, in other words, to an agency who actually specializes in organizing trips around a theme, an activity or a country.
Having a perfect knowledge of the culture and of the people involved in providing the respective services, the receptive operator knows all too well how to adapt to the needs of the holidaymaker and portray his area at its best. It is he who sells to tour operators and other agents but also directly to the holiday-maker himself.

Travel Operator register

During the course of our many exchanges one topic of discussion comes up quite regularly. Why do we place so much importance on our registration number in the “travel and holiday operator register”?

It is my famous  “Atout registration number : IM011180002“, a number allocated to every agent and located at the bottom of the certificate. It would seem important at this point to explain a little about this. In fact, it is a requirement of the tourism code of practice to oblige any one selling holidays or services in the business, to register. The principal of our profession is to combine accommodation, food and catering, cultural excursions and even transport, if we are to correspond with the expectations of our customers. In displaying this number Atout France we are illustrating that we have the right to do all that. Doing this we are also indicating that you are covered on lots of levels.

For example, travel agents in France have to take out financial cover that will guarantee to match the amount paid out by the customer. This financial guarantee is used to refund all money received for contracts he has made with the final customer for all current or future services. In particular, in the event of non-payment resulting in bankruptcy, all repatriations costs and consequent supplementary expenditure will be covered.
In other words, any money you spend with us is covered ! The same cannot be said of internet operators !
