Since 1996, Laurence Touchard, the company's president, has held a majority stake in Scoop Voyage. Now a new team of investors, the Management Buy-Out (MBO) team, has joined the company.

They also receive support from two family offices, which are minority shareholders, and from two Crédit Agricole regional banks for the senior debt.
Founded in 1987 by Michel Texier, Scoop Voyages designs tailor-made travel and seminar projects. With a team of 19 employees based in Chartres-de-Bretagne, the company generates annual sales of 11 million euros.
