In anticipation of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Alliance France Tourisme, a coalition of France's leading tourism entities, has launched a novel initiative aimed at enhancing the hospitality skills of those welcoming the influx of international visitors next summer. Revealed on the iconic Champs-Élysées, this unique program seeks to equip French citizens and professionals with the essence of French hospitality through an immersive video game experience.
The initiative, designed to prepare the nation to offer unparalleled hospitality, is open to all—from company employees to volunteers, including hospitality professionals, retailers, restaurateurs, mobility stakeholders, and security forces. Through engaging gameplay, participants will be immersed in scenarios that teach the fundamentals of French hospitality, such as availability, manners, and openness, all within a 30-minute interactive session.
Characters within the game guide users through various hospitality scenarios, emphasizing the importance of being an ambassador for France. This approach not only aims to enhance the visitor experience during the Olympic Games but also reinforces France's position as the world's premier tourist destination.
"Alliance France Tourisme is committed to showcasing our country's dedication to making every visitor's stay exceptional. Our companies and our employees are ready to welcome the world with open arms," stated a spokesperson for Alliance France Tourisme.
The training is accessible for free at www.alliance-france-tourisme.fr, offering a unique opportunity for all welcomers and volunteers across France to refine their hospitality skills ahead of the 2024 Olympics. This initiative underscores the collective effort to ensure that the upcoming Olympic Games leave a lasting impression of warmth and welcome on all who visit.
