From 28 to 30 September 2021 the first edition of Natur’In will be held at the Grande Halle d´Auvergne in Clermont Ferrand (Puy-de Dôme), a French fair that presents itself as a new professional event dedicated to sustainable tourism and open air accommodation facilities. Organized by GL Events Exhibitions, it plans to bring together as many players as possible in the HPA – Hôtellerie de Plein Air sector, such as manufacturers of accommodation and accessories, equipment for swimming pools and maintenance, camping equipment and services, but also campsite managers, private projects promoters and other start-ups, as well as local and institutional communities, such as federations and associations.
The first edition of Natur’In will be organized around three major themes: eco-responsible practices for the HPA sector and stakeholders; new services for the optimized management of the structures and the plan for sustainable tourism; the request for projects to finance the development and transformation of the sector.
Wanting to also be an exchange and information platform for professionals in the sector, Natur’In offers a varied program of conferences and events, highlights to promote the latest innovations, create visibility opportunities and enrich knowledge of the market.
Looking at the 2021 calendar of French professional trade fairs in the sector, Méditerranéa’s defection was recorded, which should have been held on 1 and 2 June. In addition to Natur’In, three other exhibitions remain: Atlantica, which will take place in La Rochelle from 12 to 14 October, SETT – Salon professionnel des Équipments de l’Hôtellerie de plein air to be held at the Parc des Expositions in Montpellier on 2, 3 and 4 November and, finally, Équip’HPA, the 18th edition of the Salon Professionel Haute France des Équipments de Tourisme et des Collectivités organized for 24 and 25 November in Le Touquet.
