WE LOVE PUTTING TOGETHER ALL THE RIGHT SPECIAL INGREDIENTS – FROM MEETING THE MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE, TO VISITING THE MOST COMPELLING CULTURAL SITES
Information, Study and Press Tours; Official Delegations
MICHEL IRS can create detailed itineraries for study or press tours, drawing on its on-the-ground knowledge and extensive contact book so as to ensure a rich and varied set of meetings and site visits. We can also provide qualified ‘tour guides’ to accompany the visiting group(s). In the case of official delegations, we facilitate the programme, liaising with all other relevant stakeholders to ensure a smooth visit in all respects. Detailed consultation with the client ensures the provision of customised care for the participants. Special consideration is given to cultural and religious background, personal requests and specifications on the programme format, structure and content.
