We told you recently that the allocation of stars has changed. But do you know who manages these allocations ? Atout France will soon have no secrets for you.

Atout France is THE reference in the classification of tourist accommodation. Created in 2009, it is an economic interest grouping, an operator of the French State for tourism.

What are its main missions ?

• To promote France and its destinations internationally
• To promote global brands as a point of entry to the territories
• To support the development of territories
• To contribute to the quality and renewal of the offer through classifications, labels and registrations

Atout France therefore defines a classification of collective tourist accommodation : hotels, campsites, leisure residential parks, tourist residences and holiday villages.

This system is based on 4 main pillars :

• A range of classification from 1 to 5 stars
• A classification awarded for 5 years
• Qualitative criteria
• Evolving criteria

Did you know that this classification is done at the request of the establishments ? It is a voluntary process !

Atout France is therefore a body linked to the State to promote French heritage. Do you think this is important ?
