Welcome to the website of the Centre Intégré de Développement Touristique des Îles de la Madeleine.
The Centre Intégré de Développement Touristique des Îles de la Madeleine (C.I.D.T.I.M.) was officially created on May 18 2004 with the signing of a partnership agreement between Tourisme Îles de la Madeleine and Canada Economic Development.
Introduction
In the Îles de la Madeleine, the tourism product is based mainly on the natural and cultural environment, which must be both protected and marketed. The Île-de-la-Madeleine Municipality has been working closely with other development agencies on the Islands (S.A.D.C., C.L.D., A.T.R.) to formulate a new overall policy for tourism development which will have considerable impact on the C.I.D.T.I.M. action plan, even if the latter respects the major orientations of the overall policy.
Mission
The Centre's mission is to support the tourism industry on the Îles de la Madeleine in its commitment to developing new products in keeping with international standards.
General Objectives
- Ensure that the various members of the tourism industry integrate their approach within their respective sectors
- Create and spearhead working committees and round tables for each sector in order to structure and develop the tourism supply (networking, packaging, strategic alliances, etc.)
