The Qualité Tourisme mark

In order to full its missions as well as possible in compliance with the regulatory directives of the tourist organisation, the various partners and the visitors, the Tourist Office entered into a Regional Quality Approach in 2003 for maximum customer satisfaction.

After several years of commitment to the Quality Approach accompanied by the Regional Federation, the Hautvillers Intercommunal Tourist Office was audited on 3 October 2017 with a view to renewing the Qualité Tourisme mark.
It is with great satisfaction that the Intercommunal Tourist Office has been awarded the Qualité Tourisme mark by the National Federation of Tourist Offices of France for a period of 3 years.
