In mountain areas, tourism development operations are carried out under the control of a municipality, a group of municipalities or a mixed syndicate of local authorities. Unless it is done on a “régie” basis, implementation is carried out under the following conditions:
1° Each operator must enter into a contract with the commune or grouping of communes or the competent mixed syndicate;
2° Each of the contracts relates to one or more of the constituent parts of the tourism operation: studies, land and property development, construction and management of public facilities, construction and operation of the ski lift network, management of public services, events and promotion.
