Following the workshops

120 concrete ideas from the thematic workshops will be studied by the organizers of the Assises du Tourisme. Their feasibility, implementation and financing.
Among these actions, some are desirable, easy to implement, and with quick gains. Others are highly desirable, truly strategic, but potentially more complex and time-consuming to implement. Still others are more minor actions. At the end of December 2024, analysis of all these actions is underway to determine the next steps to be taken.
