Accreditation in the field of tourism, catering, leisure, trade and crafts aims at promoting quality of service, know-how or "France" as a brand both in France and abroad.
It helps to underpin consumer confidence in their purchases or in their choice of tourist destination.
Promoting a gastronomic heritage or a regional speciality, showcasing the quality of catering or promoting quality hospitality may involve seeking certification for products and services.
To be able to guarantee their impartiality and competence, the French Consumer Code makes accreditation mandatory for bodies conducting this type of certification.
This measure generates confidence in the services delivered by certified companies or bodies, helps increase the global quality of the proposed offering, and in this way reinforces the appeal of France as a destination for consumers.
