White Paper of Tourism in Ain

2023-2028

The ambition of the Department, shared with all tourism stakeholders, is set for the coming years!
To develop a sustainable and competitive tourism economy by strengthening the offer of short stays and the reputation of the destination: this is the new ambition shared with the public and private tourism actors of Ain, which has resulted in the development of a pragmatic and bold strategy.

In a highly competitive sector, sensitive to crises and subject to profound changes, tourism remains a major pillar of Ain’s economy.
The new policy will revolve around three guiding principles:

# SUSTAINABILITY because it generates employment, respects the environment, balances the territory, improves the living environment of residents, and is accessible to all.

# ECONOMY as a whole, requiring support to cope with major societal changes in employment, mobility, accessibility, energy, and supported by large-scale structural investments.

# COMPETITIVENESS to better face competition by relying on Ain’s 10 fields of excellence: Cycling, Golf, Hiking, Four-season Mountains, Gastronomy, Agritourism, Craftsmanship, Historical Sites and Exceptional Villages, Natural Water & Landscape Areas, Business Tourism…

 

Key Figures

Apidae

The platform Apidae is a data warehouse, used to collaboratively manage tourist information for all the territories covered by the project (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Charentes, Occitanie, Ile de France, PACA and New Caledonia).
In 2020, the Apidae platform hosts more than 363,712 object sheets updated daily by more than 1,336 clients. The network now includes 23 departments, 1 overseas community, and more than 24,793 platform users.

This platform allows the entry, storage, and exploitation of tourist information to inform customers about the offer of destinations within the network. This information is distributed at the reception, by phone or email, and/or used to feed the digital projects of community members (web and mobile sites, interactive terminals, information panels, publications…).
Today, more than 2500 projects rely on the platform.

But Apidae Tourisme is not just a platform, it is also a network of actors grouped into communities and a service ecosystem…

Apidae Widgets

 
From the information referenced in the Apidae platform, the widgets allow you to display lists (accommodations, hikes…) without IT knowledge or heavy investment. An ideal marketing tool for tourism professionals or institutions, whose sites are sometimes a bit static.

In 2018, a new widget platform, developed by Hotentic, was launched. New features, ease of use, statistics, contemporary design… this platform has everything to please!

Do you want to integrate a widget on your website? Contact Claire,in charge of Apidae at Dombes Tourisme.
