Modernisation and adaptation of supply
The 2009 law on the development and modernisation of tourism services updated the
classification of tourist accommodation, which was then entrusted entirely to Atout France.
The purpose of that reform was to encourage an upgrading of all types of tourism offer. An
initial review of that reform indicates that it is playing a vital role in consolidating the
quality of that offer (Box 1). Other measures are being implemented, including measures to
enhance the image of the tourism industries and to address the problem of low year-round
occupancy in leisure accommodation in certain ski and seaside resorts
