Association of Rodrigues Tourism Operators
Some 20 years ago, the first tourist structure was born in Rodrigues. It was a modest boarding house. Progression has been very slow as they now number only four. Other more sophisticated structures grew alongside them in the form of guest houses, apartments, studios, restaurants, inbound tour operators, car rental companies, craft markets and other local products.
With the opening of two quality hotels in 1990, the tourist sector got a fresh start and the need was soon evident for a specialist structure that would coordinate the conception and marketing of the tourist products.
ARTO, the Association of Rodrigues Tourism Operators, was born in 1994. As a newcomer on the international tourist circuit. ARTO members who number 20 businesses are all dedicated to the promotion of Rodrigues as a specific destination concentrating upon aspects of nature, culture, customs, cuisine and welcome. The association places a lot of emphasis upon the training of personnel and the upgrading of infrastructures and other relevant tourist aspects.
