l'Asscociació


The Tourist Accommodation Businesses Association (AEAT) was set up on December 27 2005 and represents tourist establishments or agencies legally authorized to trade in tourist accommodation in the Principality of Andorra.
 
Members of the Association control 840 registered apartments in whole blocks or private residential blocks, most of which are to be found in the higher parishes of the country (Encamp, Canillo, La Massana and Ordino) where tourist demand is greatest.
 
These apartments have traditionally catered to a family market, with the biggest demand coming from skiers during the winter season from the United Kingdom and Eire, Portugal, France and Spain, who normally stay for one week at a time. The apartments are classified from 1 to 4 stars under the conditions established by the General Law on the Lodging of Tourists  and are supervised by the Ministry of Tourism under various regulations and decrees:

The first objective of the Association is to achieve the modification of the existing legislation to include the legal concept of Furnished Holiday Apartments, because it had become evident that the dispositions of the General law could exclude the possibility of using furnished apartments if they were situated in an ordinary residential block rather than in dedicated tourist facilities. Proposals for specific legislation have now been drawn up and presented in the Council-General which will serve to regulate this type of use; to control the activity of businesses specialising in this sector of the market ; and to control the manner in which such activity and business shall be conducted. The second objective of the Association is the fight against numerous cases of illegality in the sector and to eliminate unregistered accommodation from the market.

The third objective of the Association is the promotion of tourism; to reinforce the attractiveness of Andorra as a tourist destination; to increase occupancy and minimize seasonality; and to continue to increase customer satisfaction by offering quality furnished apartments with proper standards and in a controlled manner.

The Principality of Andorra consists mainly of three large mountain valleys in the form of a Y,
through which the three biggest rivers flow the North and East Valira Rivers join together in the main
valley of the capital to form the Great Valira River, all of them bordered on each side by high mountain ranges.
These features make for a country of dramatic natural beauty.

Administratively, the Principality of Andorra is divided into seven parishes, which, in order of protocol, are:
Canillo
, Encamp, Ordino, La Massana, Andorra la Vella, Sant Julià de Lòria i Escaldes-Engordany.


Today, the Principality of Andorra has transformed into a tourist country par excellence, offering an enormous range of tourist accommodation, including holiday apartment:
