The Tourist Center and the Tourist Offices of the Vendée bocage have the mission of supporting tourist providers in professionalization: the evolution of digital tools, knowledge of the territory and the conquest of new clienteles.
Since 2014, a program of tourism workshops has been developed: workshops, training and conferences are offered, led by agents of the tourist center, tourist offices and external consultants.
Tourism Workshops
Review of 9 years and audit of needs
In 2023, the tourism center carried out an assessment of tourism workshops as well as an analysis of the training needs of tourism stakeholders. The Web Créatif agency supported the tourist center to carry out this study. This audit made it possible to implement a new program of training, workshops and meetings for 2024-2026.
In addition to historical themes: such as communication on the web and social networks, web marketing and knowledge of the territory, new themes meeting the expectations of service providers will be offered: time and household management, maintaining an ecological garden, basics of decoration
