When the competence to promote tourism, including the creation of tourist offices, is transferred to communities of communes and conurbation communities, the tourist offices of tourist communes and classified tourist resorts are transformed into information offices of the inter-communal tourist office, except when they become the headquarters of this office. However, the deliberative body of the public establishment for inter-municipal cooperation with its own tax authority may decide, no later than three months before the transfer of responsibility comes into effect, to maintain separate tourist offices for classified tourist resorts, by defining the arrangements for pooling the means and resources of the inter-municipal tourist offices existing on its territory.
