In order to meet the expectations of tourists in 2024, a brand new system will gradually be deployed:

  • the design and equipment of the areas will be reviewed to make them more open, notably with the installation of new digital interfaces;

For the Paris Region, this agreement is part of the strategy put in place through the Regional Tourism and Leisure Development Plan 2017-2021, which aims to strengthen the quality of the tourism offer and reinvent the destination to make Paris Region a unique experience and offer visitors a quality of welcome in line with its position as world leader.
