National Federation of Tourism Residences, Aparthotels and Holiday Villages (FNRT)
FNRT is the professional trade association representing tourism residences and Aparthotel operators. FNRT defends the interests of its members and advises them on legal, tax and labour-related matters, promotes the tourism residence and Aparthotel concept (Advantages of Aparthotels) and handles collective bargaining for the sector as a whole.
Creation of FNRT
When it was founded by pioneering seaside and mountain resort developers in 1982, the association comprised 7 members and accounted for 70,000 beds.
The idea proved to be a very successful one, especially with families, and tourist residences subsequently developed rapidly to keep pace with growing demand.
FNRT had 73 members in 2025, representing over 302,000 beds.
It is the unique representative association for the sector in dealings with the government.
It is also a founding member of Confédération des Acteurs du Tourisme (CAT – Confederation of French tourism bodies) (CAT press kit for 2017).

Organisation
Throughout the year
Working committees are organised around expectations on different issues :
- Labour matters: work organisation, part-time work, seasonal work, minimum salary scales, healthcare coverage, etc.
- Operational matters: customary practices within the profession, maintenance, safety, relations with property owners, applicable regulations, etc.
- Sustainable development: distribution of energy-saving materials within the scope of C2E sheets, measurements at pilot sites, drafting specifications for renovation work.
- Communication: exchanging statistics, devising joint initiatives for the profession.
Once a year
Every year, FNRT organises a General Meeting of members to discuss their problems, come up with solutions and exchange information, etc.
These meetings forge links between members, foster solidarity within the profession and ensure uniformity of action.
If you wish to participate in any of the commissions, join FNRT or simply discuss a tourist accommodation-related issue, contact us.
