Tourism diversification in the development of French ski resorts.

Abstract

Abstract This chapter addresses the developments in tourism governance, along with the characteristics and processes that define tourism governance. In particular, it aims (i) to understand, in the French Alps context, how the organization of tourism destinations will evolve, due to both the diversification of tourism and institutional reform, and (ii) to identify the drivers of these changes. Furthermore, the chapter show how public policies dedicated to ski resorts can help ski resorts and their territories in regenerating tourism governance.
