Destination of excellence

A new label for more responsible tourism

It is aimed at all tourist organizations wishing to affirm their commitment to sustainable tourism.

Why this change?
Expectations are evolving: visitors today are looking for environmentally friendly, accessible, and meaningful experiences. The Destination of Excellence label addresses these current challenges.

Two pillars to be labeled

The Destination Excellence label is based on:

• A Quality pillar (reception, cleanliness, customer satisfaction)
  
• An Eco-responsible pillar (sustainable practices, accessibility, inclusion)
  

Period of validity : 5 years, with renewal under conditions.
Good to know: Establishments already labeled Qualité Tourisme™ only need to validate the eco-responsible pillar. Equivalences exist for certain eco-labels.
