Mark your calendars, the next edition of the Destination France road show will roll out in four Canadian cities in February: Montreal on Feb.  19; Toronto Feb. 20; Calgary Feb. 21 and Vancouver, Feb.  22. Details to come.

Ahead of the events, Atout France in Canada is inviting tour operators to submit their applications for the Product of the Year Award. The award – to be voted on by travel advisors – recognizes the innovative aspect of a tour or holiday offered in France or in its overseas destinations. Applicants are encouraged highlight sustainable and renewable tourism.

Entries must be received by Jan. 15 at 11:59 pm EST. They will be selected by a panel of judges, then posted on the Destination France website for a vote by travel agents, which will take place Jan. 22-Feb. 5. Winners will be announced, and trophies awarded at Destination France events in Montreal and Toronto.

The prize is a trophy awarded at award ceremonies held during Destination France in either Montreal or Toronto.

Canadian tour operators interested in submitting their application for the Product of the Year Award are invited to contact Édouard Guimas by e-mail at edouard.guimas@atout-france.fr.
