Question 34043 — tourism and leisure

Summary

Mrs. Laurence Gayte draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for tourism, French people abroad and the French-speaking world, concerning the difficulties of the wine and brewing sectors, as well as that of spirits in France. The first confinement, due to the closure of bars and restaurants, had already seriously damaged these sectors which are real showcases of France, and this in an international context that is just as difficult because of Brexit, on the one hand, and tense commercial relations with the United States, on the other. The new confinement is a major blow to these sectors which, for some of their stakeholders, even see their survival called into question. For several years now, these three sectors have already begun their diversification by highlighting their know-how thanks to the development of know-how tourism such as wine tourism and spirit tourism. This diversification is today more than ever a necessity and an opportunity to allow the different sectors to increase their income. As part of the vine, wine and oenology study group of the National Assembly, the MP was able to hear the CEO of Chartreuse, Mr. Emmanuel Delafon, who expressed his enormous difficulties faced with restrictive regulations and the concrete impossibility of maintaining a living tourism site (visiting an active production site). Indeed, standards often make it more difficult to promote ancestral know-how to as many people as possible and can represent an obstacle to investments. To what extent would it be possible to promote spirit tourism and facilitate procedures in this sector very dynamic activity, which has great prospects for development? Furthermore, while they can boast nearly two million visits each year, companies in this sector have an APE code which does not allow them to obtain aid intended for the tourism sector. She asks him if it would not be possible to attach them to it so that they can benefit from it.
