2025 Ambassador Workshop Program

Calais XXL invites you to come and share your experiences and discover best practices for growing your business. Reserved for signatories of the Territory Ambassadors' charter, these workshops are divided into three areas: 'Development aid', 'Quality of reception' et 'Knowledge of the territory'.

We learn together!

The 2025 Calais XXL Ambassadors program promises to be a rich and varied program! The teams have designed short, accessible sessions lasting just a few hours to accommodate training within the busy schedules of professionals and entrepreneurs. For this first year, we're offering three key themes. 

  • 'Development aid' : with meetings organized around the commercial development of a tourist activity.
  • 'Quality of reception'  : to support the staff who interact with visitors and establish our legendary reputation for hospitality.
  • 'Knowledge of the territory'  : times for discussion around major events and key moments in the region to obtain the right information and provide better tourist advice.
