Yesterday morning, around fifty tourism professionals attended the first brunch of the winter season. The
meeting began with a few words from the mayor before the new Director of the Tourist Office, Cécile
Ferrando, explained the new organization and the new management team following the departure of the former director of Val d'Isère Tourism, Christophe Lavaut. She also reminded the tourism professionals of Val d'Isère Tourism's mission: to promote tourism development in Val d'Isère, highlighting the village's
accommodation capacity last season with a total of 25,988 tourist beds, resulting in over 1.5 million
overnight stays. Also last year, over 1.4million ski days were sold, with a conversion rate of 81.1%
between overnight stays and ski days sold. The top five nationalities represented were British (42%),

The Director of the Tourist Office also highlighted the month of April, featuring a 40% discount package and events designed to boost business during the shoulder seasons.
