Observing, leading and supporting businesses
Tourism@, the travel trade fair for professionals on the French Riviera, addressed good practice in matters of IT.
The European e-tourism project (MEMO) piloted by the French riviera chamber of commerce was concluded successfully by the Commission in Brussels. A convention was signed with a European fund to develop sustainable tourism in the three valleys of the Mercantour, and the Chamber helped 8 campsites to earn quality labels.
Résaports, a system enabling passing yachts to reserve a mooring berth in the Alpes-Maritimes, performed well and is set to expand.
30 yachting companies committed to the Chamber's quality programme.

The French Riviera chamber of commerce continued to stimulate the region's industrial fabric, organising 75 encounters for 1,600 participants plus two key forums (an industrial forum and a micro-electronics forum).
It participated in the PRIDES Industrial Solutions & Systems adventure and ensured the region's businesses accessed opportunities inherent in the ITER project in Cadarache. It promoted innovative energy projects within the Valor'Innov programme and launched an industrial patents club. It also launched the Ecobiz initiative (
www.cote-azur-ecobiz.fr) for sharing information and stimulating professional networks. Initiatives including forums, country days, training and foreign missions, enabled hundreds of businesses to develop internationally.
The French Riviera Film Commission, a founding member of the European Film Commission, helped create a cluster of Creative and Innovative Industries to anticipate the use of new information technologies and develop everyday multimedia interactivity.
The french Riviera chamber of commerce continued to defend Nice's place on the fast train route - at the heart of the Mediterranean between Rome and Madrid, and 3hrs 40mins from Paris. It joined with neighbouring French and Italian CCIs to lobby for cross-border transport projects, promoted maritime motorways, and supported a road system that skirts around Nice. It also supported a second tramline between the harbour and the future multi-modal transport centre behind the airport, extending along the River Var to the future Nice Méridia business quarter.
The chamber helped promote employee travel schemes to industrial estates and also introduced its own scheme, complementing the car-sharing website created by the Conseil Général.
It continued waste management and energy saving initiatives with businesses and carried out a diagnosis of industrial effluents in the Var Valley.
The french riviera chamber of commerce is involved in preparing the future of the Var Valley, suggesting the inclusion of business clusters and international business quarters to complement the airport, without ignoring the problem of accommodation for the working population.
Team Côte d’Azur organised visits to the Alpes-Maritimes and trade fairs abroad, thus detecting 178 investment projects from all over the globe. The 30 decisions to invest will generate 557 jobs in three years. 20 are foreign, placing the department in the lead within PACA and ranking the region 2nd in the country for attracting new international businesses.
