Tourism 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, in partnership with Emirates, welcomed seven ‘91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ SMART’ specialists from France to the islands from May 21 to 26, 2025 to complete the final stage of the programme.
The group had the opportunity to experience the destination first-hand, along with the Emirates airline experience to 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ.
The 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ SMART programme has been an instrumental tool in the French market for over 16 years, equipping travel agents with in-depth knowledge to deliver exceptional experiences to their clients.
Structured in three key stages, the programme begins with a half-day training session hosted by Tourism 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, followed by the completion and validation of five confirmed bookings to 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, including both international flights and local services. The final stage, which is the familiarisation (FAM) trip to 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, ends with a certification ceremony where agents receive a diploma and a window sticker, officially recognising them as 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ SMART-certified agents.
Tourism 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ extends its gratitude to all partners, especially Raffles 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ, Le Duc de Praslin, Canopy by Hilton 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ Resort, and Kempinski 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ for sponsoring the complimentary overnight stays, and 7° South, Mason’s Travel and Creole Travel Services for their complimentary services extended to the group during the FAM trip. Their invaluable contribution creates a meaningful and immersive journey for our certified agents while fostering opportunities for future partnerships.
The 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ SMART programme is committed to enhancing the expertise of travel agents in the destination’s key markets, enabling them to serve as knowledgeable and passionate ambassadors for the destination. In collaboration with Emirates and other valued partners, Tourism 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ remains dedicated to providing the trade with easier access to information and facilities to enhance their knowledge of 91Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ.
