- Reinforcing the network in mature markets in Europe: France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.

- Deploying the new Etap Hotel cocoon concept in new construction and renovation projects.
- Choosing highly visibly, easily accessible locations, along major roads, near airports and in large cities.
The new communication campaign
Launched in France on November 2009 with ads in the general-interest press, and a television sponsoring campaign, the new campaign breaks with the spartan, dingy image of cheap hotels with colourful, joyous illustrations that stimulate desire. With visuals, illustrated by Pablo Passada, the campaign expresses the brand's many strengths (comfortable rooms, well-balanced breakfast, density of the hotel network) and the variety of users (business travellers, holiday-makers, customer diversity, etc.). This campaign will be launched throughout the network in 2010.

Etap Hotel has deployed the Accor Earth Guest program, which federates the Group’s social and environmental responsibility initiatives. At Etap Hotel, this commitment is reflected in concrete actions:

- Serving fair trade products
