IN SHORT
|
In an innovative momentum, the tourist offices of Grand Villeneuvois, Lot-et-Tolzac and Fumel Vallée du Lot unite to give birth to a unique tourist office within the Vallée du Lot by 2026. This ambitious project, strengthened by two years of collaboration, aims to optimize the attractiveness and clarity of the region’s tourist destinations. By promoting a coherent and integrated approach, this initiative promises to enhance the rich cultural and natural wealth of the area.
A well-engaged cooperation
The decision to merge the efforts of these three tourist offices is part of a collaborative approach already initiated. This includes the production of a fun promotional film, significant partnerships in the context of events such as the Tour de France 2024, as well as the establishment of a joint tourist map. Such initiatives not only enhance the appeal of the Vallée du Lot but also make visible the hidden charms of the villages listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France.
A more coherent tourist destination
The ambitions of the elected officials from the three territories stem from a deep understanding of today’s tourists’ expectations. Increasingly, these visitors seek clear destinations that transcend traditional administrative boundaries. By coming together, the tourist offices respond to this demand by structuring a tourist offering that better meets current needs. This will ensure a smooth, enriching, and above all memorable experience for every visitor to the area.
The advantages of the Vallée du Lot
The Vallée du Lot is a territory rich in remarkable natural and heritage diversity. With the beauty of its river landscapes, the cycling path that winds along the banks, and architectural gems like the château de Bonaguil or the Jardin des Nénuphars Latour-Marliac, tourists will have access to a multitude of activities and discoveries. These attractions, woven into a single tourist narrative, will form a strong and appealing regional identity.
A project underway for 2026
In order to lay the foundations for this unique tourist office, the involved intercommunalities are preparing to conduct a feasibility study. Led by the Grand Villeneuvois Agglomeration Community, this approach is essential before officially merging by the time of the renewal of municipal and community mandates in 2026. The initiative represents a potentially decisive turning point that the Vallée du Lot will welcome in its quest for sustainable and enduringly attractive tourism.
