Reunion Island presents an eruption of new stuff

Over 40 hotels, resorts, DMCs, and other companies will exhibit in Paris, showcasing the new face of Reunion Island and portraying a fresh dynamic image which the island’s tourism gurus have created over the past year.

New technology has been introduced at the stand and tourism trade visitors, and potential travelers have something to look forward to when they come to discover what awaits them on Reunion Island.
