France - Travel & Tourism: A volume and value driven industry (Strategy, Performance and Risk Analysis)
France - Travel & Tourism: A volume and value driven industry (Strategy, Performance and Risk Analysis)
SUMMARY
France’s travel and tourism sector contributed approximately US$85 billion to its economy in 2016 and is expected to reach US$73.1 billion by 2021. The country’s increasing revenues from tourism are mainly attributed to the country being host of several famous tourist destinations, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and Disneyland, which attract travellers from across the globe. Also, the country’s intriguing war history and rich culture entice tourists with varied interests from different parts of the world.
In 2016, France’s tourism expenditure was US$285.5 billion and it is expected to increase at a CAGR of 5.4%, from US$231.4 billion in 2017 to US$285.6 billion in 2021. This increase is attributed to several measures undertaken by the government to ensure the safety and convenience of its tourists. For instance, the relaxation of visa norms, and approval of visas within 48 hours for countries such as China and India, will increase inbound tourism. France has also beefed up its security at key tourist destinations after several terror attacks since 2015. Moreover, with an expanding economy and rising cross border trades, tourism flow for business activities will increase the total tourist volumes.
