The island owes this special status to all the technological innovations and their strategic deployment in the digital arena, developed by the Reunion Island Tourism (IRT) over the past several years now. With three Golden Travel awards under the belt, a new website at the cutting edge of technology, the implementation of several innovative mobile applications and a strong presence on social networks it was a logical progression that the island hosts the tenth edition of Net Managers, an event dedicated to French speaking tourism decision makers who conduct their business both on and offline.
