For the Grand Figeac Tourist Office, it is difficult in this uncertain and complicated period to plan for the next vacation, especially since those in February do not move the crowds.
“If we look at the passages and requests for information, let’s recognize that it is quite confidential, says Pierre Kovacic, director of the tourist office. But it is true that with the restaurants and the museums closed, the Mandatory curfew and other constraints, we could hardly hope for better. However, this in no way prevents us from working on all the planned activities, and even beyond, since since January, we have been relaying all the restaurateurs on our site. which sell to take away, with a tip for Valentine’s Day.
We have almost finalized the tourist brochure which will be sent to the printer very quickly for distribution at the end of March. It is enriched by new services in the territory, and we rolled up our sleeves to find new advertisers. It is really encouraging”.
The ILO has just integrated Lætitia Berton, a new webmaster who has arrived from Gréalou and is already taking her work head on. A real plus for the operation of the structure.
“We are also working on the programming of the 2021 guided tours, continues Pierre Kovacic, with the possibility of organizing night tours on the Grand Figeac. These activities are working well and I believe that villages like Lacapelle-Marival, Marcilhac and others, s ‘would lend itself to it very well.
For her part, Isabelle Clary, responsible for the reception / production pole, is thinking with the Lot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the tourist offices of Cahors and the Dordogne Valley and private partners such as Cars Delbos, Fitour, Raynal Cahors and Quercy Découverte. The idea would be to use the impetus given in 2020 by the department’s promotional campaign to give it even more visibility, to “boost” the reception of groups in the Lot.
We can see it, even in lean times, well sheltered by its secular walls, the intercommunal tourist office is still at work.
