Law 13/2007 of 20 September, the creation of the public company Andorra tourism, SA since the General Council in its session of September 20, 2007 has approved the following: law 13/2007 of 20 September, the creation of the public company Andorra tourism, SA preamble after decades of intense and sustained growth the tourism activity is at present one of the productive sectors determinants of the Andorran economy, given that it has a specific weight in the directly related (hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, etc.) and in the other with what, in an indirect way, maintains a close relationship (shopping, sports, culture, etc.). This tourism development is a key factor because Andorra keep the levels of quality of life and well being desirable.

The growing competition of products and tourist destinations requires all the institutions and bodies with competence in the design and implementation of tourism strategies and policies to develop a more intense effort to maintain and, to the extent possible, increase its levels of competitiveness by maintaining, in this way, their contribution to the productive economy of the country.

Indeed, compared to the classical model of public organization in tourism that established its powers on the basis of the basic cast among the matters arising directly from the administrative authority (inspection, licensing, planning, discipline, classification, etc.) and other framed in the conceptual umbrella of tourism promotion (advertising, promotion, attendance at trade fairs, etc.), the reality of the current tourist market shows a level of complexity and specialization to which one can hardly give an appropriate response with the suitable model of public organization in tourism.

The globalisation of the tourist market, the increase of demand of the tourist demand, the emergence and consolidation of new technologies as channels of communication and distribution, the continuous appearance of new products and destinations, the increase in the supply of air transport, among other factors, require a new approach to managing a tourism destination's tourism policy.

Unavoidably, this new approach requires the development of instruments more agile and dynamic management in order to allow the continuous adaptation and systematic public managers to changes and variations that have an industry as dynamic as the tourism and, thus, achieve competitive advantages that awarding efficiently in the process of creating and marketing of various products that make up the tourist destinations as was highlighted clearly in the tourism marketing plan of Andorra 2005-2010 prepared by the Government with the participation of all organizations and institutions concerned by the development of tourism in Andorra.

Therefore it is the responsibility of the State, in a country with a clear tourist vocation as is the case of Andorra, to confront this new reality of the tourism market, and develop the most suitable instruments of public management, on the one hand, to increase the efficiency and the coordination, both between the various public administrations with competences in the design and implementation of tourism strategies and policies , as well as between these and the private sector; and on the other hand, to facilitate the marketing among the tourist offer of the country and its tourist demand.

In this context, it can be observed that all countries and regions in which tourism has a big weight in the economy have developed in their respective areas of action the implementation of public instruments of management, which, under various legal models-corporations, autonomous bodies, public law entities, etc. – make it possible to provide the agility and efficiency that the current tourist market requires , and together they guarantee the levels of control and of legal certainty by which all public institution must ensure.

For all that the General Council, conscious of the need to take the necessary measures that will help to keep the leadership position that Andorra is currently within the context of the world, reached after years of effort and involvement of both the public sector and the private sector in the country, believed to be essential to the creation of a management instrument for this mission, since the current structure and the functions of the Ministry of tourism have been widely ultrapassades by the same market reality national and international tourism.

Thus, the creation of a public company of the general administration is manifested as the ideal formula to achieve, on the one hand, the competitive advantages derived from the management of the various subjects related to tourism – quality, efficiency, marketing, innovation, specialized knowledge, etc., and on the other hand, the essential link to the public organization, the Government of the country, which in accordance with article 72 of the Constitution is the direction of the national and international policy of Andorra in the framework of these functions.

Structuring through a public company in the general administration appears as the formula or system most suitable for carrying out the tasks that the public administration takes in the tourist sector in general, including the Organization of national and international network of offices that allow them to improve the competitiveness of tourism of the Principality of Andorra, and more agility, flexibility, speed and efficiency by adjusting the activity in the private law and withdraw it from the rigidities and formalities larger than presents the juridicoadministratiu regime.
