With Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Tourism and numerous regional ski resorts, OnlyLyon Tourism and Conventions met with 59 Indian tourism professionals.
This provided the opportunity to review the situation with tour operators already covering Lyon, mainly as part of pre- or post-skiing stays or as an alternative to Paris for returning travellers, and to launch new programmes.
Although India is still a niche market for Lyon, many Indian tourists visit the region, above all the Alps, meaning that there is significant development potential for Lyon.
What’s more, in recent months we have noticed a growing interest in Lyon as a destination on the part of Indian professionals, who have asked us to provide familiarisation tours and promotional material.
