The Camping Qualité label in France: an environmental and strategic issue
The outdoor hospitality sector is now a key player in the ecological transition. In France, campsites can obtain a quality label by meeting several criteria. The label Camping Qualité, recognized since 1999, is based on a strict quality charter and an independent external audit covering more than 340 criteria distributed across 6 areas.
🏕️ The 6 areas of commitment of the quality camping label
A warm welcome : Guaranteeing an impeccable customer experience from arrival.
Impeccable cleanliness : Hygiene of sanitary facilities and communal spaces is essential.
Accurate and truthful information : Transparency about services, rates, and equipment.
A well-maintained private location : Providing a pleasant setting that is well integrated into the environment.
A valued and respected environment : Sustainable management of the site and preservation of the environment.
An affirmed eco-responsibility : Implementation of sustainable practices for camping.
💡 Complying with these requirements can prove complex without efficient monitoring and optimization tools. Beyond what Camping Qualité can offer to support professionals, through its audit as well as its 360° Diag, it is indeed on this eco-responsibility theme that ThinkCities® intervenes, being able to assist campsites in achieving the label's criteria.
