Rendez-vous en France 2026 tourism fair: what is it?

For the past 20 years, Rendez-vous en France has been the leading international trade fair for French tourism, bringing together the entire French tourism industry and welcoming nearly 800 French and international buyers from over 50 countries. Organised by Atout France, this ultra-condensed strategic format, where over 28,000 business meetings take place over two days, serves as a major showcase for the appeal of French regions to international travel industry influencers. Each edition takes place in a different city, thereby boosting the visibility of the host destinations and the national tourism sector.

An intensive business format designed to drive performance

No fewer than 28,000 business meetings take place over two days, offering French exhibitors the opportunity to promote their products and boost their turnover through pre-scheduled business meetings: a unique B2B format that maximises opportunities in a very short space of time.
Rendez-vous en France has thus established itself as a strategic lever for growth among tourism stakeholders, facilitating rapid contract signing and the launch of new offerings.
