A Highly Anticipated Fair!
Since the early 1980s, France has seen a proliferation of Tourism Fairs, predominantly set up in major cities north of the Loire.
Since the widespread implementation of the 35-hour workweek, which spurred other forms of tourist consumption such as short breaks, most French metropolitan areas now host a tourist event for the general public.
This will be the case for Nice on November 5th and 6th, 2005, which will host its first International Tourism Fair.
An International Event Worthy of France’s Fifth Largest City!
The French Riviera combines the necessary assets to host an international tourist event, with exceptional transport infrastructure such as the second largest airport in France (9 million passengers per year), the top national cruise port, and comprehensive rail and motorway networks.
Furthermore, its inhabitants are among the most frequent travelers in France and will undoubtedly appreciate the foreign and French tourist offerings presented by S.i.t.c.a. ®

A Global Tourist Representation!
For getaways in Provence Côte d’Azur, stays all over France, and especially long-haul trips, more than 300 tourism professionals representing travel agencies, French regional and departmental tourism committees, campgrounds, castles, airlines and maritime companies, thalassotherapy centers, inns, hotels, museums, French and foreign tourist offices, amusement parks, tour operators, rail transporters, and holiday villages will be available to the 25,000 visitors expected at S.i.t.c.a.®
A Major Customer Base!
As the third largest tourist-emitting region in France, with more than one million French and foreign residents with high purchasing power (third highest GDP per capita in France), the French Riviera is one of the best customer bases at a national level.
Residents of neighboring departments like Var as well as regions in northwest Italy will also be sure not to miss this unique international event between Toulon and Genoa.
Families, couples, and singles will find a tourist offer adapted to their needs and budget.
