The SIPO wants to raise awareness of accommodation and leisure

The Syndicat intercommunal des plages d'Omaha, or SIPO, operated as an initiative union. He sought to promote the reception of vacationers on the coast as well as in the interior of Bessin, through leaflets, accommodation lists and participation in tourist magazines.

Its general assembly met on a Wednesday evening at the town hall of Vierville, under the chairmanship of Jean-Pierre Delobel. The six member municipalities were represented by their delegates: Mr. Delobel and Mrs. Demoor for Vierville, Mr. André for Saint-Laurent, Mrs. Cuillandre for Asnières, Mr. Gromelon for Louvières, Mrs. Lamy and Mr. Leroux for Formigny, and Mr. Richard for Trévières.

The collector, Mr. Caillebotte, presented a balanced budget of 23,000 francs, with a closing surplus of 17,000 francs. The per capita participation remained set at 5.80 francs. Jean-Pierre Delobel retained the presidency and Ms. Cuillandre was elected vice-president.

The ten thousand leaflets published two years earlier, in French and English, had been distributed. A new edition presenting the beaches of Omaha and green tourism was planned. The SIPO also wanted to bring together the accommodation options - furnished, cottages, hotels and campsites - in a list distributed by the delegates of the municipalities. Another list was to make the leisure activities of the region known to the vacationers.

The union had participated in the publication of a brochure and a leaflet on the Bessin. Finally, its managers wanted to involve professionals, including hoteliers and landlords, more in their activities and organize an information meeting for them.
