CNIV (Commission Nationale des Investissements Touristiques)

CNIV, or the Commission Nationale des Investissements Touristiques, is a French governmental body responsible for reviewing and approving investments in the tourism sector. Its main role is to ensure that large tourism-related projects meet legal requirements, support sustainable development, and align with national interests. When a company or individual plans a significant investment in tourism infrastructure or facilities in France, they often need CNIV's approval to proceed. The commission evaluates the project's economic, cultural, and environmental impact, helping to promote responsible and beneficial tourism growth across the country.
