Sports tourism:
a winning wager
France is about to enter a
new period in which major
sports events (i.e. Olympiad
in 2024) will play a key
role in the decision-making
process of those travelling to
this country. To this end, the
decision by the government
to appoint a special team to
hone France’s readiness for
a new tourism influx, and to
benefit from the promotion
of major sports events on a
global scale, means this will
be done in such a way as to
truly optimise all opportunities
available. The presence at
IFTM Top Resa of members of
this mission, such as Pascale
Roque (see pages 12-13) sets
this show at the very heart
of the issue and underlines
the key role being played by
this gathering of top minds
in pushing the industry in the
right direction.
Tourisme sportif : un pari
gagnant
La France est sur le point d'entrer
dans une nouvelle période où
les grands événements sportifs
(comme les Jeux Olympiques en
2024) joueront un rôle clé dans
le processus de prise de décision
de ceux qui voyagent dans le
pays. À cette fin, la décision prise
par le gouvernement de nommer
une équipe spéciale chargée de
préparer la France à un nouvel
afflux touristique et de bénéficier
de la promotion d’événements
sportifs majeurs à l’échelle
mondiale implique d'optimiser
toutes les opportunités possibles.
La présence à IFTM Top Resa de
membres de cette mission, comme
Pascale Roque (voir pages 12-
13), place le salon au cœur de la
problématique et souligne le rôle
clé joué par ce rassemblement des
plus grands esprits afin de conduire
l’industrie dans la bonne direction.
