Why was the hotel charter created?
As part of their ongoing commitment to quality hospitality, Bordeaux's hoteliers have joined forces with Bordeaux Tourisme & Congrès to host major professional events, by signing a charter of hotel commitments.
Bordeaux Tourisme, through its Convention Bureau (BCB) and the Club Hôtelier Bordeaux Métropole (CHBM), co-signatories of the charter representing the collective of member hoteliers, to date 100 hotels and hotel residences of all categories, representing over 7,500 rooms.
What are the main issues involved?
The Hotel Charter applies exclusively to “rotating” professional events of over 500 overnight stays on at least one night, involving reservations at several hotels and organized by non-profit organizers (learned societies, federations, professional associations, etc.) or private-sector companies.
Its objectives are to formalize an attractive location policy for major professional events, provide end customers with a coherent, consolidated offer to facilitate their access to the destination, and guarantee a long-term portfolio of events.
The signing of this charter seals the shared determination of hoteliers, the CHBM and Bordeaux Tourisme & Congrès to welcome even more large-scale national and international events to Bordeaux in the best possible conditions.
