La central de operadores internacionales retoma las sesiones formativas para agencias de viajes.

A pesar de que agencias de viajes son sin duda uno de los colectivos más afectados por la crisis provocada por la pandemia, éstas no cesan en su formación y profesionalización.

Por ello, a partir del próximo día 4 de Marzo Central de Receptivos retoma las formaciones online con Webinars sobre destinos y receptivos, impartidos directamente por los propios operadores asociados al consolidador. “Hemos permanecido al lado de las agencias en este último año, desde el principio de esta pandemia con formaciones online así como dando todo el soporte necesario a los agentes y operadores. Las receptivos también han sufrido muchísimo la pandemia, pero han resistido con mucho esfuerzo y sacrificios, y ahora es importante retomar la relación agencia-operador y generar confianza y garantías para la nueva normalidad” apunta Javier Centeno, director general.

El objetivo de estas sesiones, que se imparten tres veces por semana es ofrecer a las agencias información actualizada acerca de la situación de los destinos, cómo se han reestructurado sus recursos turísticos después de la Covid-19, así como las medidas tomadas por los operadores y destinos para recuperar la actividad con garantías de cara al próximo verano.

“Estamos convencidos de que las agencias de viajes, a pesar de haber sido grandes afectados en esta crisis, saldrán reforzadas profesionalmente. Sin duda cambiará la forma de viajar, los clientes serán más exigentes y confiarán más en el agente para confeccionar sus viajes con garantías. Por esto es tan importante llegar preparados en protocolos de viaje, destinos y nuevos productos”

En esta nueva tanda de seminarios, se otorgará un diploma acreditativo de experto en el destino a todas las agencias que participen en los mismos. Se impartirán seminarios de destinos europeos, americanos, africanos, asiáticos y algún que otro destino exótico.

Para acceder a los webinars es necesario registrarse en el apartado de Formación de Central de Receptivos. Para aquellos a los que no les sea posible asistir en directo, todos los webinars quedarán disponibles en esa web.

Central de Receptivos es un consolidador de receptivos internacionales enfocado exclusivamente a las agencias de viajes, cubriendo a día de hoy 159 países con operadores directos y todos de habla española. Con más de 8 años en el sector Central de Receptivos se ha convertido en el proveedor de referencia en el sector.

Cidade de Braga eleita Melhor Destino Europeu 2021 https://www.heritagetravelservices.com/cidade-de-braga-eleita-melhor-destino-europeu-2021/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cidade-de-braga-eleita-melhor-destino-europeu-2021 https://www.heritagetravelservices.com/cidade-de-braga-eleita-melhor-destino-europeu-2021/#respond Sat, 13 Feb 2021 11:44:23 +0000 https://www.heritagetravelservices.com/?p=6908 Cidade de Braga eleita Melhor Destino Europeu 2021

Fonte: BragaTV

A cidade de Braga acabou de ser eleita o Melhor Destino Europeu para visitar em 2021.

Braga recolheu 109.902 votos dos internautas, consolidando-se como um destino de excelência e uma referência no turismo internacional. Depois já ter sido considerada o segundo Melhor Destino Europeu em 2019, Braga ocupa agora o primeiro lugar nas preferências dos participantes, a uma distância superior a 31 mil votos da segunda classificada, a capital italiana, Roma.

Os resultados foram conhecidos esta quarta-feira e para o presidente da Câmara Municipal de Braga, Ricardo Rio, esta votação é “o coroar de um inquestionável trabalho de afirmação internacional da marca Braga”.

Ricardo Rio destaca o apoio a esta candidatura por parte de muitos portugueses espalhados pelo mundo, além do empenho da própria cidade, das instituições e dos bracarenses. Do total de votos na cidade de Braga, 72% referem-se a participantes fora do território nacional, um dado bem demonstrativo da projecção da cidade a nível nacional.

“É um resultado que nos enche de orgulho e que certamente terá reflexos extremamente positivos no Turismo e na economia local, regional e nacional durante os próximos anos”, sublinha o autarca, agradecendo o empenho de todos os que “contribuíram decisivamente para que este resultado fosse possível” e deixando uma palavra de reconhecimento ao apoio demonstrado pelo presidente da República Portuguesa, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, pela secretária de Estado do Turismo, Rita Marques, Entidade Regional de Turismo do Porto e Norte de Portugal e Associação de Turismo do Porto e Norte (ATP), além de diversas Autarquias, entidades e cidadãos.

Nesta edição, Braga foi o destino favorito dos viajantes do Reino Unido e do Brasil e uma das principais escolhas de viajantes dos Estados Unidos da América e de França. Todos os anos a organização recebe um do Vaticano, que este ano também foi depositado na candidatura bracarense. A organização destacou ainda a capacidade de mobilização promovida por Braga, unindo todo o país torno da sua candidatura.

“A partir de agora, Braga estará ainda mais presente nas mais reputadas publicações na área do Turismo de todo o mundo, o que fará da cidade um destino cada vez mais procurado para milhões de viajantes”, refere Ricardo Rio.

Dos 20 destinos a votação, os 15 primeiros irão figurar na página web do European Best Destination, onde poderão ser visitados por milhares de viajantes que utilizam estas informações para escolher os seus destinos turísticos. A referida página é a mais visitada no que se refere ao Turismo na Europa, com uma audiência que ultrapassa os 5.5 milhões de viajantes.

Nesta edição, as 15 cidades distinguidas foram: Braga, Portugal (109.902 votos); Roma, Itália (78.124); Cavtat, Croácia (50.025); Florença, Itália (46.484); Sibiu, Roménia (45.699); Paris, França (39,584); Cefalónia, Grécia (36.551); Kotor, Montenegro (32.481); Soca Valley, Eslovénia (30.088); Ilhas Canárias, Espanha (26.432); Tubinga, Alemanha (25.586); Dordonha, França (24.427); Taiti, Polinésia Francesa (22.356); Capri, Itália (18.420) e Ghent, Bélgica (16.503).

Recorde-se que, tal como em 2019, Braga era o único destino nacional nomeado para receber esta distinção em 2021, um dado que acaba por confirmar o crescimento da marca Braga e a qualificação da oferta turística disponibilizada pela cidade.

Criada em 2009, a European Best Destinations, organização sediada em Bruxelas, promove a cultura e o turismo na Europa e distingue, desde 2010, as cidades mais modernas e atraentes para visitar na União Europeia. Este é considerado o maior evento de e-turismo da Europa.
