To all the friends of the world, health, friendship, happiness, long life to Skål." This is how the Côte d'Azur branch of this century-old association, Skål International, welcomes you. In January, Nicolle Martin left the prestigious chair of president to make way for the newly elected Bérangère Authieu. Founder of Your Travel, a tour operator based in Fréjus (10 employees) specializing in tailor-made B2B travel, the young woman has been a member of Skål International Côte d'Azur for six years. A club where we "do business among friends" in the tourism sector. Bérangère Authieu also chaired the Junior Economic Chamber of Cannes-Pays de Lérins in 2023.
Collective intelligenceShe is delighted to take the helm of Skål International Côte d'Azur "with an expanded board, with diverse skills. I strongly believe in collective intelligence to move things forward." During an induction evening for new members at the Grande Bastide golf course in Châteauneuf-Grasse, the expanded board presented the areas to be developed this year "always around our professions, to serve our skålleagues, to create synergies." What she would like? "For us to be even more present alongside the CCIs, Côte d'Azur France, or even the UMIH. To be their link. Because we are a complementary ecosystem. We could share our data to raise issues. And find solutions together." Any tourism company is welcome in this multi-skilled club, which aims to be selective, with 5 or 6 new members per month. 175 members recorded (compared to 9 in 2018 when the association was taken over) with the objective of reaching 200 in 2025.
