Vincent Kaufmann, Jérôme Chenal

La présente étude vise à analyser l’attractivité commerciale et touristique d’Estavayer-le- Lac dans un contexte général de recomposition de l’offre en la matière. Plus précisément, l’étude a pour but (1) d’appréhender les destinations d’achats de la population résidente et des communes alentours et leur évolution, (2) d’identifier les forces et faiblesses de l’attractivité commerciale et touristique d’Estavayer-le-Lac, et (3), d’émettre des recommandations à l’intention des acteurs impliqués pour accroître l’attrait commercial et touristique de la ville. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, deux enquêtes ont été réalisées : une enquête-ménage auprès de la population résidente d’Estavayer-le-Lac et des communes situées dans son bassin de chalandise, et une enquête auprès des estivants. Ce dispositif a été complété par quelques interviews et des observations in situ. Le présent rapport synthétise les résultats principaux des deux enquêtes, toutes deux réalisées en 2005, propose des scénarios d’avenir possible et des recommandations quant à l’implémentation des scénarios les plus souhaitables.
