Our solutions for the tourism industry
In 2024, the tourism sector represents a turnover of €200 billion and 1.3 million direct jobs. It is divided into five categories: skills-based tourism (4,000 companies), cycling tourism, river tourism, wellness tourism (spas, thalassotherapy), and slow tourism.
Snow melt, water shortages, the carbon footprint of air travel, landscape impact, cultural uprooting... With the rise of mass tourism, climate change, and globalization, all these activities face challenges in terms of environmental impact, sustainability, digital transformation, and innovation.

- 100 million visitors to France in 2024
