An unmissable event during the school holidays, the activities put in place by the tourist office delight visitors, locals and also traders. Find out how to take part in a piece of Bandolese life!
What is a tourist activity?
Perhaps you have already seen families strolling through the streets of the city, brochures in hand and looking a little too insistently at several windows? Or have you heard of a golden ticket hunt organized in Bandol? Well these activities are tourist operations which were set up by the tourism office, in partnership with traders.
The will behind these mechanics: combine the pleasure of a game with your visibility. So, for the school holidays (zones A, B and C), we think, invent, we take pleasure in creating new routes which will entertain visitors and above all which will bring them in front of your store.
The games are always linked to an overall theme developed at the tourist office. It can be a route, a treasure hunt, a recurring event (pétanque), an operation with an obligation to purchase, a draw... Absolutely anything that can come from our imagination! However, one common point keeps coming up: take participants all over the city, to on the one hand introduce them to Bandol and on the other hand, to introduce them to all the shops.
Why become a partner?
Here are the advantages that tourist activities can bring you:
- Be part of a local operation with minimal involvement: we take care of everything! The only thing you will have to worry about is installing signage in your store (sticker and/or poster).
- Maximize your visibilite : by appearing on operations communication media (brochures, social networks, website, tarpaulin, etc.).
- Develop your notoriety : we often had the phrase at reception “Oh well, I didn’t know this store”.
- Have more visitors in front of your store: because in general, for tours and treasure hunts, we invite you to display a clue in the window. All you have to do is make them want to come home!
- Bring you more customers = for operations with obligation to purchase.
- Participate in a benevolent and virtuous dynamic uniting tourism and commerce.
