  • development of welcome structures (construction and management of hotels, restaurants, cafes, buffets, trains stations, etc.)

  • development of guide-books (and all tourist litterature)
  • development of travel agencies and tour operators
2. Concerning the tourist policies, we will consider :
  • the role of public authorities (at national, regional and local level)
  • the role of tourist offices
  • the role of railway companies, airways companies, navigation companies, bus companies, etc
3. Concerning the economic aspect, we will study
  • the flow of tourists
