As you will have understood, one of the main advantages of appearing on the Bandol Tourisme site is of course: visibility. A way for you to rely on a trusted site, already well positioned on Google search pages and with a great community. In addition, other benefits should also be noted:

  • Distribute verified information : Keeping your information up to date and accurate is essential to us. Whether at reception, by private message on our social networks or via our website, we strive to provide the most accurate information to visitors (times, offers, address). However, if Google sheets are not always updated, our site is every year.

Upon receipt of the completed questionnaire, we will send you a contract for the management of your personal data (GDPR). All this will allow us to create your profile on Apidae. Apida-what?

Apidae is a tourist information system (TIS) used by tourist offices. Its interest is data sharing. Thus, all member municipalities have access to information from other cities. For example, if we enter an event, Sanary-sur-mer, Six-Fours and most municipalities in the PACA region will be able to have the information and even broadcast it on their website. The information entered can be a show, a trade fair, a highlight, a hike, a beach, an activity, accommodation or even a business. And this is where it gets interesting for you.

In addition, from a technical point of view, we are obliged to create your profile on Apidae to distribute it on our site. So like that, it’s settled!

Good to know : we can only create files for our own municipality, Bandol. Therefore, if your business is not domiciled in Bandol (head office or store), we will not be able to integrate you into our site. If so, contact Kelly at kelly.boyer@bandoltourisme.fr.
