TRAVEL TRADE NEW YORK, N.Y MONTHLY 5,815 JUL- 1965 Hotel & Resort Wews Information Offices Welcome Visitors to France A network of offices known as Accueil de France (France's Welcome), linked to each other by teletype, specializes in obtaining last-minute hotel reservations as part of the new "Welcome and Hospitality" campaign in France. Addresses of the offices can be obtained from the French Government Tourist Offices in the U. S. Arriving at any Welcome Office, the traveler tells one of the trained hostesses what he's looking for?╟÷price, type of accommodation and any other specification ?╟÷and the work is done for him in minutes, at no charge, even when it involves teletype messages to other parts of the country. Travel agents are safeguarded by the stipulation that accommodations cannot be reserved through Accueil de France in advance, and must be made in person. When reservations are made for another area, the tourist must arrive there not later than the following evening.
