Let's enter this article by skipping the introduction stage to focus directly on 2 concrete cases, which don't just happen to others!

✈ Situation 1: in case of transport problems

You decided to organize a business seminar because your teams deserve it. And because this year was particularly fruitful, you want to make them dream, to make them travel. Direction the south of Spain, for example!

Two event agencies caught your attention. Their services and prices are pretty much the same. You might as well go for the lowest rate, you think.

The seminar is great, everyone is thrilled. You do not regret your choice... Until the airline guaranteeing the return flight announces its bankruptcy. You have the good instinct to contact your event agency. But because it does not have a travel license, your agency does not contribute to a financial guarantor organization Who would have taken care of the urgent repatriation of your teams. On the phone, the agency assures you that it will do everything possible. Understand: the return will be long and expensive.

Did you know that?

As soon as the services of an event agency include accommodation and/or transport, it must hold a travel agency license validated by registration Atout France.

🕺 Situation 2: in the event of an accident

Your business seminar takes place in a beautiful private mansion in the Paris region. This was booked and paid for by the event agency. The agency is therefore a customer of the hotel. You, no.

The change of scenery is total, the atmosphere is there. So much so that, a bit too enthusiastic on the dance floor, one of your guests ends up breaking an arm. Unfortunately, you learn too late that your agency does not have a travel license. In this case, the incident will be considered as a Accident at work. Your business is responsible and the Risk of lawsuit exists. For the agency, no.

___________

In general, remember that using an event agency with a travel license brings you a large number of guarantees, and therefore more than serenity. Apart from the legal aspect, we can think (rightly) that an agency that operates in good and due form naturally inspires more trust than someone who decides to do things her own way.

UNEXPECTED is one of those agencies that consider that the safety of its customers is a fundamental criterion. We are happy and proud to have a travel license, thanks to which we can make your events even more memorable!

🎉 Choosing an event agency with a travel license: an open door to the pleasure of your employees

It is possible that the two situations above did not worry you more than that, since you are considering organizing your seminar in the city where your company is located. It is true that this reduces expenses and makes organization much easier. Indeed, there is no need to worry about housing and transport issues.

If this is your intention, know that only 45% of French companies that organize a seminar do so in another city, while... 70% of respondents say they prefer to go to a residential seminar that takes place elsewhere!

We also know that 33% of those who are not satisfied with a seminar say that “the setting is not unusual enough”. If your destination is the Paris region, take a look at these 7 places for a green seminar in Ile-de-France in order to guarantee a change of scenery without leaving far away.

But don't worry about one thing: 90% of seminar participants are “enthusiastic” about going there!
