Tourism has a strong economic impact in France : 6.3 % of Gross Domestic Product.

Local authorities overestimate employment related to tourism and its contribution to the local economy.

Difficulties to estimate employment related to tourism:

-Administrative source can’t directly calculate employment related to tourist.

- The impact of tourism is highly variable for one activity to another.

-The impact of tourism for the same activity is variable, depending on the location.

Municipalities are divided into three levels of tourist equipment: - Poorly equipped - Moderately equipped - Well equipped

This classification is based on 6 indicators: - Salaried employees in restaurant - Capacity in restaurant - Hotel capacity - Camping capacity - Density of second homes - Presence of a tourist site

The tourist equipment of basin life where the town is located is also involved in the classification.

There are 5 types of activities - 100% tourist : hotels... - Heavily tourist : restaurant... - Moderately tourist : hypermarket ... - Low tourist : road transport... - No tourist : industry ...

This method takes into account only the salaried job and jobs that directly offer a good or a service to tourists.

An employment daily curve for each tourist activity is made in different areas.

According to the typology of cities and activities, we take into account: - All jobs - Or only seasonal jobs - Or seasonal jobs adding to a part of permanent jobs 

8

A low tourist activity, located in a city well equipped.

Only the hump of curve is considered as tourism jobs.
