Organized Packages for Everyone

Facilitating access to local offerings is at the heart of the new tourist guide published on December 24th in Petite-Terre. This guide brings together accommodations, restaurants, and activities on the island in a single document, to support the local economy and revive tourism after Cyclone Chido.

Aimed at residents, visitors, families, groups, and young people, it encourages everyone to buy local. The guide offers six types of organized stays centered around aerial, nautical, land-based, or cultural activities, making the experience clearer and easier to plan. “Before, there weren’t really any packages. People had to find activities themselves. We wanted to make it simpler,” explains Rabya Soilihi, Acting Director.

Creating the guide required numerous meetings with accommodation providers, restaurateurs, service providers, and cultural associations. Some collaborations were quick, others more lengthy, to ensure the project’s operation was clearly explained. To take advantage of the offers, visitors must book accommodation on Petite-Terre and contact the tourist office, which coordinates services with partners. Once the booking is confirmed, they receive a 10% discount on activities and meals. Contact information for service providers is included at the end of the booklet for easy access.

More than just a guide, the booklet aims to strengthen the local tourism economy and foster exchanges between the various stakeholders. “The goal is to support businesses on the island and encourage residents and visitors to spend money locally,” she explained.

The document also allows visitors to rediscover Petite-Terre. “Many residents are unaware of certain sites like Lake Dziani,” she emphasized. Associations offer introductory workshops in traditional dances and songs, while hiking, water sports, and aerial activities, such as microlight flights, round out the offerings.
