– More than 220 media and tourism professionals attended TravMedia's fifth annual International Media Marketplace (IMM) France in Paris on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

125 French media attended IMM France with 97 representatives of 67 international tourism brands in the luxurious setting of the Hotel du Collectionneur in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. In total, more than 1,000 one-on-one meetings were held- added to the 4 hours of free networking during the various gourmet breaks of the day.

Since its launch in Paris in 2019, IMM France has been supported by two renowned journalists' associations, the AJT (Association des Journalistes du Tourisme) and the Press Club de France.

Travel Texas sponsored the networking break of this fifth edition: wearing hats and other typical Texan accessories, participants posed in front of the photocall featuring typical Texas backgrounds. A great moment enjoyed by all!

"We are very proud of the success of the fifth edition of IMM France. We warmly thank Travel Texas for sponsoring and hosting the networking break, and all the delegates, exhibitors, and media who were present. The number of exhibitors and media has increased every year since the launch of IMM France four years ago and has even doubled in 2023 compared to last year!" said Karine Foraud, General Manager of TravMedia France, Monaco, Benelux.
