The 2023 edition of Sett closed with very respectable numbers: over the three days of the show, 18,348 tourism professionals arrived in Montpellier to meet 730 exhibitors, distributed across 10 pavilions. Last year, visitors had just crossed the threshold of 17,000 and companies had stopped at 680. In search of the latest trends in the sector, visitors were able to discover the innovations presented by the winners of the Sett d’Or, participate in conferences and exchange opinions with experts on all current issues.
The 2023 edition was also the opportunity to celebrate the bronze medal of the LEAD sustainability recognition, obtained last October 31, which rewarded the path started by Sett already in 2021. The results obtained this year are the best ever registered by the French event. Exhibitors and visitors were not only able to participate in conferences and debates on changes and developments in the sector, but also explored the 60,000 square meters and 10 exhibition pavilions to discover original and creative innovations in terms of equipment and services.
“Our success has now been confirmed for several editions, proof, if any were needed, that the Sett is an indispensable event for all professionals who seek to modernize and accompany the transformation of our sector which attracts more and more people year after year,” said Philippe Robert, President of the Fédération del’Hôtellerie de Plein Air (FHPA) of Languedoc-Roussillon. “Innovation is at the service of the quality and experiences offered but takes into account current environmental and economic constraints”.
Sett also organized a competition reserved for campsite owners and managers which aroused great enthusiasm by offering prizes worth a total of €70,000. Furthermore, the FHPA Languedoc-Roussillon and the Sett partner federations wanted to contribute to the Telethon, which takes place every summer in campsites across France. A check for 4,250 euros was then delivered to the AFM-Telethon, thus closing this 44th edition with a gesture of solidarity.
