Testimonials

Mathias Jung, CEO Rocky Mountain International:

For nearly two decades, Rocky Mountain International has enjoyed working with the Rep & Co team representing the U.S. Rocky Mountains in the French tourism market. Rep & Co has made significant gains for RMI, leading the development of our region from a virtual unknown in the French market to tremendous growth, recognition and results. Hervé and his team are committed to knowing our region's products first-hand and as experts in all things Rocky Mountain have increased our presence in tour operator programs, grown media exposure and initiated some of the best sales missions in the business. Rep & Co's reputation for professionalism, enthusiasm and charm combined with their vast network of relationships within the tourism industry, including work with the Visit USA Committee, Brand USA, airlines, tour operators, journalists, France-based film companies and other toursim-related entities that benefit the region, is invaluable to the success of our efforts. We are delighted with the work they have done for us and expect to continue our relationship for many years to come.
It is a pleasure to work with Rep & Co and I am very happy to recommend them to anyone.

Karen Vieroever, Travel Portland

Travel Portland has had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Rep & Co for nearly ten years. The firm has always been enthusiastic about our destination and extremely responsive to our needs. We have worked primarily with Olivier Barthez, whose passion, attention to detail, exuberant creativity, and general all-around good-naturedness make working with him a delight. Our business from the French market has increased exponentially, commensurate with Olivier’s (and Rep & Co’s) great work.

Gary Schluter, Rocky mountain Holiday Tours

Rocky Mountain Holiday Tours llc has been the Official Receptive (International Inbound) Operator for the Rocky Mountain International promotions/marketing group for almost 20 years. During that time we began working with Rep & Co to help us to promote this region to the tour trade in France. This partnership has then expanded to helping to promote programs throughout the entire of the American West—including other areas represented by Rep & Co—especially Oregon and Utah! RMHTours has worked with many promotion representation companies over the 30 years of our existence as we have booking partners throughout Europe but I can testify that, by far, the most professional group we have worked with over the year is Rep & Co. When we first started to work with Herve and Olivier, France was a distant third for our European markets (behind the UK and Germany). For the past many years, France has been our top market for bookings—with a market share of 40-45% of our total annual business. This growth is directly attributed to our partnership and programs with Rep & Co. For the French/Belgium market RMHTours will continue to use Rep & Co as our ONLY representation in the French speaking markets.
