Understand
Cotentin Tourist Office
The action scope of the Cotentin Tourist Office is part of the legislative development of the NOTRe law.
The Cotentin Agglomeration Community has rethought its tourism reception and promotion model, and has opted for the creation of an entity bringing together the 11 existing structures (10 Tourist Offices and 1 Tourist Reception Country).
The Community Tourist Office was therefore created in November 2017 and made operational on January 1, 2018 in the form of a Local Public Company (SPL).
