Ia Orana!

TTNA is pleased to announce the launch of our new Incentive website, which exemplifies the latest edition of the Incentive Planner’s guide. The new site includes expanded content covering topics most important to the Incentive Market, like; popular pillow gifts, Group Activities, Sample Itineraries, and Sample Special Events.

Besides the site’s updated look and content, the newest and most exciting part of this renovation involves the development of the Request For Proposal (RFP) tool, which addresses the growing needs of the incentive market in North America. With the RFP tool, meeting and incentive planners will be able to submit requests directly to a list of Tahiti Partners which they themselves select. Not only will the site allow users to submit specific requirements for travel, they will also have the option of setting a date for when they need a response. The chosen Tahiti Partners will receive the RFP by email, at the moment the request is generated, and will then be able to respond directly to the Incentive Buyer by providing a quote for the requested services. The meeting and incentive planner will also receive an instant email notification that their request has been received by the chosen Tahiti Partners for action. The incentives section can be reached directly at www.TahitiIncentives.com or through the Tahiti Tourisme home page, www.Tahiti-Tourisme.com and clicking on the Industry link, then Incentive Travel Site.

As always, we welcome any and all feedback so that we may ensure maximum effectiveness of our site. You can leave feedback at incentives@tahiti-tourisme.com.

Bastille Day Los Angeles 2006

On Sunday, July 16, Passions Productions held the fifth annual Bastille Day Los Angeles event in the beautiful gardens of the Page Museum on museum row in Los Angeles.

Beginning at noon and running until 8:00 PM, the event was well attended welcoming over 5,000 guests. Many of the attendees were French citizens living in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. There were also quite a few Americans visiting the event, many of them trying to improve their French while visiting the many exhibitors.

The theme for this year was Tahiti! The magical islands of Tahiti had an overwhelming presence throughout the festival. Partners Air Tahiti Nui and Pearl Resorts had booths right next to TTNA’s. Right across the way, Tahitian Noni, Polynesian jewelry, artwork and vanilla from the island of Taha’a filled several other booths.

The entertainment also had a Tahitian flare to it – featuring performances by Te Mau Marite, Fetia Rangi, Island Inspiration, Polynesian Dance, and Heiarii.

TV5, Ricard, Volvic, Kronenbourg 1664, and Evian were also all present.
