In 2011, the commission’s work will focus on the mutual promotion of the AVEC network’s cities via the web sites of their tourism services.
Objective of the project :
Offer the opportunity to the inhabitants of the member cities of the AVEC network to beneficiate from a priviladged reception when they visit another city of the network.
How to participate to the project of mutual promotion of the AVEC network’s cities ?
1) Contact the tourism and congress office of the Metropolitan District “Rennes Métropole“.
2) Send a proposition of possible discount or offer in your city for the citizens of the other member cities: for example, a free guided tour.
Please note that it is not possible to offer a discount on the hotels or restaurants. The French lawyer we consulted for this file informed us that these offer could be considered, by the local professionals, as unfair competency practices.
3) Be able to promote your offer and the other’s on the web site of your tourist office or tourism department in the municipality.
