PHILOSOPHY

C&C DNA

Human factor

Charm and character are words often used define appealing and alluring people; Charm and character also describe the most attractive homes and other life places.

These two features also convey a distinctive feeling that do not usually occur with generic or mainstream approaches for human interactions and hospitality.

Our hotels community is born from that idea, and we welcome professionals recognized and valued for thinking along these same lines.

Ethics

A truly ethical approach is needed both in environmental and human terms to offer unique stays and memorable experiences to their guests.

Our cooperative alliance follows high ethical standards for its own operations and for those of its members.

Emotion

The charm and character of the hotels and restaurants in our community are the results of the work, skills, experience and personality of their owners; the distinctive atmosphere of these places will meet the expectations of discerning guests often looking for discoveries and emotions.

Bringing visibility to all the talents and life stories of our members is one of our main purposes.

IMPLEMENTATION, MEANS AND RESOURCES

Sustainable Development Innovations

Thanks to our teams’ constant technological watch we are able to create tools and offer the support needed for the development and resilience of hospitality businesses.

By design our teams are pro-active in the face of rapid market changes. Self-questioning is more than ever a crucial quality that we choose to impose upon ourselves for the collective good.

  • 90% digital & human interactions (Websites, C&C App, Webinars, etc.): our response to rapid obsolescence and paper wastes.
  • 10% non-digital objects and media: only the strict necessary

The Best of Digital Marketing

Websites

We provide development solutions for our members and brands with tailored high-performance, scalable websites suitable for all media, platforms and browsers (computers, mobiles, tablets). We accompany our community’s digital evolution through an attractive offer adapted to all sizes and specifics.

App

We have developed a proprietary app (Apple and Android) to communicate about our brands and hotels to communicate. It’s also a great resource to interact with our members teams and partners and to engage guests and customers interactions. Our App is also the origin and base of C & C loyalty program. A unique and innovative approach.

Newsletter &
social media

We have fair and ethical solutions to help our members communicate with their customers and partners and share C&C guests while each member maintains control over its own contacts.

Webinars

For even more flexibility, easiness and responsiveness, our teams periodically design and host webinars on specific topics focusing on the current main concerns of hospitality actors. Our goal is for you to remain free, independent and unique.

All of these tools are presented in more detail throughout this website.
