Abstract: According to the World Tourism Organization, France is still the first tourist destination in the world with nearly 83 million visitors in 2016, however in terms of revenue it ranks only fourth behind the United States (first with 205 billion euros for 77 million visitors). Why is there such a gap between the number of visitors and the revenue generated by tourist activity in France? Several factors have been identified, such as resistance to change by certain corporations in the face of globalization, disintermediation and the Internet, the atomization of players, and a deficit in the marketing of the French destination on foreign issuing markets. But in general, it would seem that one of the main explanatory reasons for this situation is mainly due to the quality of the receptive offer in France. In fact, French tourism activity suffers from an underused receptive offer that can be greatly improved in terms of stakeholder coordination, responsiveness, flexibility, diversity and availability in general. This observation is mainly verified in the receptive offer on local destinations other than Paris, the French Riviera and some big cities. Faced with this critical situation, and in order to better articulate a territorial and organizational strategy with an adapted managerial dimension, this article proposes, with reference to the actors in charge of reception, a new organizational skill of assembler through dynamic management of the local tourist offer. To do this, it relies on the concept of dynamic assembly of logistics chains (Pellegrin-Romeggio, 2011). The general idea is to show the interest of understanding the tourism sector with a more dynamic and transversal vision rather than static and compartmentalized.
