I use the attendance data from our four offices to better understand travelers' expectations and adapt our services. Involved in Customer Relationship Management through Liesel, this free service offers tourists and Alsatians personalized ideas for activities for the next day. Finally, I am responsible for running and updating our website (linked to the LEI database), a true online showcase of our destination, so that everyone can find what they are looking for and calmly prepare for their stay.

Combining creativity and strategy through digital.
