Catherine Oden

Director Atout France

The weakness of the Rupee against its international counterparts such as the Euro has affected the Indian outbound market. Travel to long haul destinations such as France was impacted to some extent and this was seen in a reduction of overnights as well as a decrease in the group size travelling to France. For 2013, we are hopeful that things will take a turn for the better. We will focus on strengthening our network with corporate clients to promote France as the perfect destination of choice for MICE activities.
