The current crisis is severely impacting the industry and prompting professionals to mobilize to find innovative solutions. This collective commitment is palpable during the Annual Meetings, where elected officials and technicians from local authorities exchange their experiences and difficulties. Coordination among these stakeholders is essential to bring forth relevant initiatives tailored to local realities.

Feedback: Customer Satisfaction Survey #

The feedback from the customer satisfaction survey of tourist clients in France is often at the center of discussions. The Quality Tourism™ initiative is scrutinized to measure its effectiveness in improving visitor satisfaction.
