Founded in July 2015, the AhTOP - Association for Professional Accommodation and Tourism - is a think tank of tourism entrepreneurs in France. Over and above the hotel sector, it federates all the players who have the shared ambition of promoting quality professional tourism. AhTop seeks to be proactive and progressive: AhTop is not a trade union but an association which points out the flaws in the current legal framework as well as the weaknesses of the tourism professions.
AhTop plans to welcome in a professional and qualitative manner 130 million visitors by 2030. To achieve this, it looks at: improving the general conditions in which tourists are received (transport, reception, 'customer experience', staff training) and creating the legal framework necessary for the emergence of healthy and fair competition between tourist establishments. In this respect, AhTop has been working for several years, alongside the public authorities, to propose mechanisms to ensure fair competition with the platforms for short-term furnished rentals between private individuals.
AhTop promotes the quality requirements of tourism players by developing the 'French art of living and elegance' in response to the changes the sector is undergoing.
Thanks to its members, professionals from all the tourism and real estate professions, the AhTop is a real think tank, a driving force to make the economic framework of tourism evolve.
