How to attract more tourists?

Across Rennes, "tourism is also the vector of job," says Honoré Puil, managing vice president at commercial planning, crafts and tourism. The economic benefits are estimated at € 240 million and about 9,000 salaried jobs in the country of Rennes. "In the economic climate that we know is a die support. "

Rennes has been engaged for several months thinking with municipalities, authorities and tourism professionals to define a tourism development strategy for 2013-2020. Adopted Thursday it aims to boost the attractiveness of the destination "Rennes", both for the business tourism as the leisure tourism: development of short stays and discovery tours, creating a strong event, setting enhancement of cultural life, local heritage, dynamism and innovation capacity of the territory, not to mention shopping or a festive image of the city ...
This strategy will have to strong arm the local public company (SPL) Destination Rennes, created in October 2013 by Rennes Métropole and the city of Rennes, which will operate including the future Convention Centre. Furthermore, the missions of the Office of Tourism and Congress of Rennes Métropole will be included in this SPL from January 2014.

What they say

Virulent load Fabrice Marzin (opposition Alliance citizen) against the document presented Thursday he considers "a distressing poverty. It offers nothing concrete, no clear direction, no map positioning of French tourism. What are our specificities and our strengths? We still have no strategy worthy of the name with that document. It is about creating a tourism observatory. It might be necessary to start there before creating the SPL. "

Bruno Chavanat (opposition, UDI) deplored "the multitude of things proposed in this document while it should rather target a particular aspect." He advanced the paradoxical situation of "a little metropolis Rennes identified in a region that is extremely. Let Rennes historical and emotional heart of Brittany. "Lack of access to Parliament of Britain, no major celebrations around the 500th anniversary of Anne of Brittany, etc. According to the elected opposition, "we are behind the development of our heritage and history of the city."
Answer (s) Honoré Puil: "Let us first define the strategic lines, then we will define a plan of action. Partners and professionals we have associated with this strategy show them extremely interested in our approach. "The means that Rennes Métropole devoted to tourism, the Vice President stressed that in a few years" we
went from € 900,000 to 2 million. "

How to choose his destination in 10 steps ( 6 to 10 steps )

6. Check the weather at departure and the tourist season
Each country has a climate of its own with periods more favorable and others less. Travelling in monsoon season may not be the type of trip you hope. For some, the lure of a lush flora makes it a perfect time.

Learn about the best times to visit a country. This is a good time to you, is not necessarily in the country of destination. Quandpartir The site is a good starting point for your research.quand partir
Remember the South of the equator line, the seasons are reversed. While we were in Quebec, Argentina is in winter.

But do not hesitate to also travel during the low season, the flow of tourists is often lower and softer prices. You can see the country in a different light.

7. Check the special events of the selected countries
Festivals and celebrations are interesting times to discover the culture of a country. I was in Laos during the festival of lights and during the big boats racing event. I loved my experience this was for me a highlight of my trip.

Perhaps there he has one or special events in your selected countries. This could influence your choice. Or perhaps is it the opposite. If you prefer the tranquility of a place, it is best to avoid these times when prices inflate and where it is difficult to find accommodation.
8. Check the check and the time necessary to obtain
Knowing the check in a country is imperative. The need or not a visa, complexity and time to obtain, its cost and the time you are granted by the government to remain in their territory might make you choose one destination over another. Bhutan, for example where a huge daily fee is required and where it is mandatory to go through an agency can be daunting one.
9. Check the necessary vaccinations before departure and the destination health component
Travel health is a component not to be overlooked. Check with your travel clinic for risks in each country and needs for vaccines and drugs. In some places, several vaccines are needed. In addition to the cost which is very high, the time between the different doses may be several weeks. So it is a component to predict depending on your chosen destination.
10. Cancel those that do not coincide with your personal criteria
With all these criteria, you should be able to make a more informed choice according to your current needs.

So it will be your next destination? And how do you choose?

How to choose his destination in 10 steps ( 5 firsts steps )

I do not know about you, but when it comes time to choose my next destination I still have a hard time making a choice. It is true that a lot of places that interest me and I plan to visit them all over the years. But the questions remains the same, where am I this time?

How to choose your destination
I share here some factors to consider in order to be able to choose a destination for your needs.
1.Make a list of destinations that interest you
Know what interests us at the moment is a good starting point to make a choice. Select a continent, a list of countries that attract us or that are tailored to the type of travel or activities that we want to do.

For example, for my trip next fall, I would want to walk through the landscapes and villages of European countries. Some destinations thus come to mind after a search on various blogs and forums travel (travel forum Lonely Planet) travel.
If you do not have a preference, this step can be skipped and you can start directly to the second stage.
2. Set your budget for your trip
As I mention regularly, it is not necessary to be rich to travel. Some types of travel destinations and many are adapted to the budget. For example you can see my article on the cheapest destinations by continent.

  Define your budget is an important step in choosing his destination. The price of the ticket covers alone, much of the expenses of a trip.

You can look on Google Flight for prices of air tickets for the period you want from

If you prefer any particular country, perhaps will you do your list according to the prices of airline tickets. The Yulair site can help you find the right "deals" of the moment. It happens to me a few times to choose my destination based on this criterion.
Besides the price of airfare, daily expenses can greatly influence your ability or inability to travel to a country.

Compare the amounts of daily expenses by type of traveler you are (in small, medium or big budget) in the travel guides of each destination or travel forums or blogs. Sites such as Le Routard and Lonely Planet have a daily budget section associated each destination. This can be a good indicator.
3. Set the length of your stay and the time difference
The length of stay may also be an influential factor. For short stays, maybe you find better to go to a destination closer to home.


For example, when I was just 10 days of vacation, I want to go to Central America rather than Asia where I allow myself a minimum of 3 weeks. Over my vacation time is short, the less I want to lose in transport to get there and the time difference factor becomes an important criterion. Allow about one day to adapt to your body by shifting time. Do the math and set your own limits.
fuseaux horaires
























4. Review the information on the flight
Flight time also discourages many a traveler. Some people are unable to do more than 6 hours straight to get to a destination. So I suggest you look at specific information theft. The time for each of them, the number of calls, the total number of hours before arriving at the final destination, the time of departure and arrival. These are several factors that can influence your choice depending on whether they are right for you or not.
5. Look warnings on the countries of destination
Without going into paranoia, it is essential to know the news about the country we want to visit. Natural disasters sometimes arise and the political, social, economic change rapidly. It is therefore important to have access to reliable sources and updated regularly on the security status in the country.

The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website provides information about each country. Otherwise, you can still join the nearest embassy of the country where you want to go to collect the information. But beware, the ministry's website is still too cautious and can easily create fear among travelers. Trust your own judgment, without taking unnecessary risks.
