A trade fair is often the starting point for many tourism projects. Over the course of a few days, destinations, travel agencies and service providers come together to plan future holidays. For over twenty years, RestoGroupes has been supporting organisers of group travel through a network of independent hotels and restaurants specialising in hosting groups.
In 2026, RestoGroupes will be taking part in the RDV en France 2026 trade fair in Nice, a major event for tourism professionals. In this article, we’ll tell you all about the event and invite you to come and meet our team there.
