Partners

In partnership with the HPA Federations of Gironde and Vendée, FDHPA 17 initiated the creation in 2017 of the HPA booking platform “Campings.online”, created by campsites, for campsites!

Campings.online, a cooperative company, is committed to a fair approach for the industry by offering innovative tools, reduced commission, and data control by member campsites. The booking platform already brings together nearly 200 campsites across 18 French departments.

FDHPA 17 and Charentes Tourisme (Departmental Tourism Agency for Charente and Charente-Maritime) work closely on the tourism development of the region and promoting the camping sector.

A partnership agreement links the two organizations for the implementation of numerous operations: Deployment of the Qualité Tourisme brand, promotion of professional offers, promotional activities, workshop facilitation, digital data exchange, etc.

CIPECMA, a leading training center based in Châtelaillon Plage, has been offering a BTS Tourism with HPA specialization as a work-study program for several years, in partnership with FDHPA 17.

The BTS Tourism with HPA specialization is the result of a strong collaboration between FDHPA17 and CIPECMA. It offers a work-study program tailored to the needs of professionals in the sector: adapted scheduling, booking software, Dutch language courses, training provided by the Federation, reception at the Atlantica trade show…

FDHPA 17 offers its members an innovative energy group purchasing service in partnership with Collectif Energie.

Collectif Energie is a company specializing in energy purchasing that supports professionals in negotiating their energy contracts. It offers various forms of support as a broker or consultant. Furthermore, in this context, it carries out group purchasing operations with energy suppliers.

The partnership with the La Rochelle-based association Echo-Mer allows FDHPA member campsites to set up a cork collection system within their establishments.

The corks are brought to the waste disposal center by the campsites, and the association then collects and recycles the cork to make, among other things, ottomans and cushions, or even insulation for homes.

Envie, a social and professional reintegration association specializing in the repair of household appliances. The partnership with FDHPA 17 allows its member campsites to benefit from its repair, equipment rental, and loan services.

This service is available while the equipment is being repaired. The association also provides monitoring and maintenance for its equipment. Additionally, Envie offers a store for reconditioned appliances where campsite managers can make their purchases.

The FDHPA 17 is affiliated with the National Federation of Outdoor Hospitality, a professional employers’ association based in Paris, which represents the outdoor hospitality sector at a national level.

The FNHPA brings together and represents 4,000 individual member campsites (managers, private or public operators, etc.), grouped under 63 departmental or regional federations. The President of FDHPA 17, Jean Baptiste Dagréou, is a member of the FNHPA Board, alongside Nicolas Dayot, National President since 2017.

The largest region in France offers diverse landscapes and multiple points of interest. With exceptional natural, tourist, architectural, and cultural heritage, Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the second most visited region by the French.

A true driver of our region’s economic dynamism (12.2 billion euros in tourist consumption, 8% of regional GDP, 103,000 jobs…), tourism therefore plays a major role in regional policy. Outdoor accommodation is one of the pillars of this economy, with its 1,520 campsites representing over 23 million overnight stays.

FDHPA 17 and Picoty Atlantique, specializing in energy distribution, have partnered to collect and repurpose used cooking oils to transform them into biofuel.

The goal of this partnership is to provide containers to member campsites and to collect their used cooking oils free of charge. This biofuel is then reinjected into the Avia-Picoty network’s service stations in western France. This entire process is carried out locally.
