RéGIONAL
DU TOURISME
RIVIERA
CÔTE D’AZUR
(FRENCH RIVIERA TOURIST BOARD)
With nearly 11 million tourists a year and 4 billion euros
in turnover, the French Riviera is positioned as the top
tourist destination in France after Paris.
A key reference in world tourism, the French Riviera alone
accounts for 1.2% of international tourists worldwide
and nearly 10% of revenue from international tourism in
France.
The top economic sector in the Alpes-Maritimes, with
over 75,000 direct jobs, the Riviera’s tourist industry
represents both a valuable asset and considerable stakes
for the development of this truly exceptional territory.
The Comité Régional du Tourisme Riviera Côte d’Azur is the
institutional structure that manages the Côte d’Azur brand
and works in close collaboration with all players in tourism,
elected and institutional officials and professionals alike, in
the framework of a territorial marketing approach for the
benefit of the entire Alpes-Maritimes département and the
Principality of Monaco.
The CRT participates in defining and implementing the
département’s tourist strategy in conjunction with the
General Council of the Alpes-Maritimes, its institutional
partners (State, Region, CCI Nice Côte d’Azur, Team Côte
d’Azur, OTSI, territorial clusters...) and professionals.
Its role in tourist development and marketing is its core
mission in the service of the destination. Thanks to its
know-how and expertise, the CRT is active in supporting
large-scale projects borne by entities and territories in the
département in the framework of specific partnerships.
> A territorial marketing mission
As Manager of territorial marketing for leisure and business
tourism on the Côte d’Azur (Alpes-Maritimes département),
the CRT Riviera Côte d’Azur aims to establish operational
ties between external markets and the French Riviera. It
relies in particular on the privileged relay provided by the
network of Atout France offices in the world.
The CRT reinforces the promotion, communication and
premarketing of all the destination’s components with the
French market and the main source markets with a targetdriven marketing rationale: «B to B», «B to C», «B to B to C»
and finally ‘thematic or channel’ marketing.
By placing the Internet at the heart of the French Riviera’s
marketing strategy, the CRT has set up the destination
Côte d’Azur brand, which it manages for the benefit of all
territories, brands and tourist products.
Its action rests on pairing knowledge of the Riviera’s tourist
offering with that of the markets, thereby providing for
the implementation of targeted approaches: traditional
promotional operations, peer e-marketing operations,
actions with the press and other media, specialised public
relations...
The CRT represents and federates the entire destination
Côte d’Azur offering.
> A Tourism Engineering mission
In close relation with orientations defined by the PACA
Regional Council and the Alpes- Maritimes General Council,
the CRT Riviera participates as a preeminent player in the
territory’s development policy regarding tourism.
With its partners it provides consulting and assistance in
engineering. Acting on the tourist product and contributing
to its qualification implies that the CRT sets up initiatives
and strategies for global development and according to
channels (creating theme clubs...).
This work is based in particular on operations of expertise,
innovation, quality approaches as well as help in marketing
products and structures. Creating labels, accessibility for
all and sustainable tourism also entail support from the
CRT for the qualification of products, professionals and
territories.
> An observation and monitoring mission
Recognised by the WTO, of which it is a member, and a
privileged partner of national authorities (ONT, INSEE...),
the Observatoire du Tourisme des Alpes-Maritimes offers
a true barometer of tourist activity on the French Riviera,
acting both as a statistical data-processing system and a
business intelligence tool.
Its aim is to build a methodological framework for measuring
the local tourist economy and producing the marketing data
and instrument panels indispensable for an operational
approach to the different markets on the French Riviera.
Overall, the role of the CRT Riviera Côte d’Azur is part of a
rationale of partnership and provides a consistent response
to the synergy and networking of tourist territories and
channels in the Alpes-Maritimes.

THE FRENCH RIVIERA, FIRM FAVOURITE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL TOURIST SCENE…
“One day, in her search to become eternal,
beauty looked for a place to call home.
She discovered the French Riviera.
She took up residence & loved it so much.
That she has lived there ever since.”
Louis NUCéRA, 1928-2000
The French Riviera is a cosmopolitan Mediterranean
destination situated in the heart of Europe. It enjoys a
climate blessed by the gods with over 300 days of sunshine
per year. Its unique natural environment, its intense light, the
mildness of its climate are key attributes of the stylish living
synonymous with the French Riviera.
Land of exception and emotion, the Côte d’Azur – French
Riviera & Monaco – owes a large part of its success to its
exceptional diversity and wealth. A unique identity forged by
the contrast between sea and mountain. Preserved natural
landscapes stretching from the Mediterranean coastline
to the Alpes du Sud. An extraordinary cultural heritage
which embraces a large part of the history of humanity. An
abundant crucible of creative activity for artists from all
over the world. A wealth of international festivals and large
events. Gastronomy gorged by sun, given a contemporary
twist by the greatest chefs. A wide range of leisure activities
and infrastructures which have seduced visitors from all
over the world for over one and a half centuries.

In the context of the policy implemented for several years
by the Ministry of Tourism, access to holidays for disabled

applying the “Tourisme & Handicap” Label in the AlpesMaritimes département, aims to develop many initiatives
on accessibility.
The Tourisme & Handicap Label, which concerns the four
main disabilities (visual, hearing, motor and mental), is part
of a voluntary approach. It is renewable every five years and

In the context of Law no. 2009-888 of 22 July 2009 for
the development and modernisation of tourist services,
all tourist accommodation is undergoing a change to new,
more modern and competitive rating standards.
The new rating system for hotels has made it possible
to add a fifth star and new criteria for a system based
more on the services provided than on surface area and

Mountains
A REFERENCE INTERNET SITE / HOW TO GET THERE / MOUNTAINS – WINTER / MOUNTAINS - SUMMER
ANOTHER FORM OF DISCOVERY / Tours
Those who discover them are surprised to see the
mountains in the heart of the Mercantour National Park
with their peaks exceeding altitudes of 3,000 metres above
sea level, so close, so accessible to the Mediterranean
forests, and the capes and islands of the legendary Riviera.
Because the Alps originate in the Mediterranean, on
one of the world’s most illustrious shores, they have
given rise to a singular luminous land, where Nature
offers an incomparable palette of diversity, setting and
atmospheres, for pleasure above all and for all adventures,
too: this is the “other” Côte d’Azur!
In the grandiose sites of the hinterland and mountains, all
possible activities are within reach, both in winter and in
summer.

PERFUMERIES
GRASSE :
“THE
CRADLE OF PERFUMERY”

In Grasse, perfume making arose directly from
the tanning industry, which prospered there in the
Middle Ages. Thanks to a micro-climate that is ideal
for fragrant plants, tanners shifted to the making of
perfumed gloves and, by the 18th century, specialised
exclusively in perfumery, making the city of Grasse the
perfume capital of the world.
