Alain Bernard, Chairman

Alain Bernard has been involved in promoting travel to French Polynesia for over 30 years. Born in France, he came to California in 1982 and remains a dual citizen of France and the United States. Mr. Bernard was the Financial Controller for UTA French Airlines for several years, and later joined the ACCOR group in 1987 as President of the subsidiary tour operator, Islands in the Sun. In 1996, Mr. Bernard founded Tahiti Legends. He felt that the North American market was in need of a travel company that was entirely dedicated to Tahiti and managed and operated by a group of individuals who wanted to share their knowledge and love for the destination. Tahiti Legends quickly became a leading U.S. travel company promoting travel to the South Pacific, as well as the Tahiti specialist for North America. In January 2010, based on the same principle of service and quality, Mr. Bernard started an operation based in Paris, France named Voyage de Legende. Tahiti.com, Inc. was established in late 2011 with the goal of marketing French Polynesia to the international clientele. Mr. Bernard holds a Masters degree in Accounting and Finance. The French Minister of Tourism awarded him the Gold Medal of Tourism.

Working with notable partners like Sofitel, InterContinental, and The Brando as Director of Sales over the years, Raphael now, as CEO, leads a team of experts whose focus on the islands of Tahiti, Fiji and the Maldives leaves no doubt that luxury travel and authentic experiences remain a priority. “I’m fortunate to have lived in Bora Bora and I’m grateful that I’m in an organization that shares its beauty with our clients every day.”
