TOULOUSE, FRANCE--(Marketwire - Feb 4, 2013) - Toulouse hosts this year's Rendez-Vous en France 2013, drawing tour operators from around the globe and tourism professionals from across the country to the area near this four-star hotel in Toulouse.

The tourism exhibition, held 25 to 27 March, is expected to attract 2,000 guests and 880 tour operators, many of whom will stay at this hotel near Toulouse airport. Organised by Atout France, the annual exhibition is used to promote France as a destination for leisure tourism to international tour operators.

The event will feature workshops, a gala, evenings out and the chance for tour operators to meet one-on-one with industry experts and representatives. Regions/cities in attendance include Alsace, Aquitaine, Auvergne, Bourgogne, Bretagne, Centre Val de Loire, Champagne-Ardenne, Côte d'Azur/French Riviera, Franche-Comté, Languedoc-Roussillon, Lorraine, Midi-Pyrénées, Nord-Pas de Calais, Normandie, Outremer, Paris/Ile-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Picardie, Poitou-Charentes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Rhônes-Alpes.

After a full day of meetings and appointments, attendees can retire to a comfortable guestroom equipped with a luxuriously appointed bed, large desk, minifridge, coffee/tea service, high-speed Internet access and elegantly designed bathroom with towel-warmer. Relax with room service, or meet up with new friends at Oleo Pazzo for Mediterranean cuisine and wine on the garden terrace.
