Transition to the Destination d’Excellence label
The Tourist and Convention Office is now embarking on an ambitious new phase: obtaining the new Destination d’Excellence label, which replaces the Qualité Tourisme label.
This transition is part of our ongoing commitment to quality, recognised for the quality of our welcome, our services and the support we offer our visitors.
