This season, travel agents throughout Florida and in the Atlanta, Georgia area should make plans to attend one of four breakfast seminars hosted by the Monaco Government Tourist Office. These seminars, highlighting all that is new and marketable in Monaco, will take place from September 10-13, 2001 and are organized with the support of Swissair and Sabena-providing service to more than 200 worldwide destinations.

The breakfast seminars will feature the most recent developments including improvements to Monaco’s infrastructure, the new Grimaldi Forum Monaco, the new TGV Méditerranée line, exciting events and the latest hotel packages. Agents will meet representatives from some of Monaco’s premier hotels, as well as representatives from Swissair and Sabena. Attendees will also learn about Monaco’s distinguished educational programs and sales tools for travel agents including the Monaco-Savvy web-based referral system, the Web Travel Agent Club and the new travel agent sales guides. Travel Agents, who attend the seminars, can also learn more about and apply for the upcoming Educ-tour to Monaco, scheduled for October 31- November 6, 2001.
