The Gourg de Maffre hall hosted the presentation of the 2026 tourist season review, where Jean-Michel de Courthezon, Director of the Tourist Office, presented the key figures. Also present were Rémy Chaput, President of the Tourist Office, and Yves Michel, Mayor of the town and Vice-President of Béziers Cap d’Agde Méditerranée Airport.
Between March 30th and September 30th, the new Tourist Office welcomed 23,000 visitors, with 10,354 during July and August. The welcome received an average rating of 4.7/5 on Google, and the Accueil Vélo and Famille Plus labels were renewed, while the Tourisme & Handicap label is pending.
Mobility saw the free shuttle between Marseillan and Marseillan-Plage transport over 36,000 passengers in July and August (-1.8%). The Marseillan-Plage TER stop served 13,137 travelers from April to September (-5%). Béziers Cap d’Agde Airport shows an average occupancy rate of 85.34% across its nine routes, and its shuttle to Marseillan carried 449 people.
Campsites show a progression of 9.41% with 755,963 overnight stays. Hotels (+0.97%) and motorhome areas (+5.53%) are also up. Conversely, overnight stays declined in residences (-6.34%), real estate agencies (-12.34%), and B&Bs (-6.39%).
The destination's digital visibility was enhanced with 110,000 visitors and 228,000 page views on the Town's website, with the 'Agenda' page being the most consulted. Social networks have over 3,500 followers, with a predominantly French, Belgian, and German audience.
These results confirm Marseillan's attractiveness, particularly driven by the strong performance of campsites. They will serve as a basis for guiding future actions of the Tourist Office.
