Support for Territorial Tourism Attractiveness
For structuring or river/river-and-land tourism investment projects. The catalogue indicates up to 20% of eligible costs, with separate caps of €400,000 and €100,000; eligibility and budget to be confirmed.
The Grand Est scheme for the area’s tourist appeal targets structuring or river/river-and-land tourism investments, not the small running costs of an individual operator. The catalogue announces a maximum rate of 20%, capped at €400,000 for major projects and €100,000 for river/river-and-land projects. The first task is to demonstrate the project’s regional, national or international scope and to check the exact category with the Region.
