Today, we have reached a key moment that will allow us to think collectively about the type of tourism that we wish to develop for our destination tomorrow.
This strong desire to reposition ourselves is correlated with a shift in demand, expressed in particular through the desire to restore meaning to travel. This is why we, Bordeaux Métropole and the Tourism and Convention Office, want to involve all our stakeholders in an open and broad reflection in order to reposition our destination for the future and take account of the long-term challenges of our tourism and events industry.
The co-creation process initiated in 2021 culminated, after ten months of dialogue, in the strategy ‘Building, together, a recognised destination for responsible tourism’ by 2026. The community formed during these various meetings has continued to meet every year to learn about the actions taken and to continue discussing projects to be initiated and challenges to be tackled collectively.
