Paris 2024 – Tourism has increased significantly, yet the city is very calm
Since the start of the Paris Olympics, 20 percent more tourists have arrived in the French capital and its surroundings compared to the same period of the previous year, while the number of visitors to museums and cultural institutions, as well as restaurants and cafes located further from the venues of sports events, has fallen, and they hardly travel on public transport vehicles.
“The promise of 15 million tourists coming to Paris this summer has already been fulfilled,” according to Choose Paris Region, the agency promoting the international appeal of the Ile-de-France region around Paris. “Right from the start of the games, even before the opening ceremony, we experienced a 20 percent increase in the number of tourists arriving in the capital region. These are positive signs,” said Alexandra Dublanche, president of Choose Paris Region, on TF1 commercial television when evaluating the tourism statistics of the first week of the Olympic Games.
“We don’t have the figures yet, but the international guests (at the Olympics), which we estimated at 10-12 percent, already account for 18 percent of the visitors to the games”
– emphasized Alexandra Dublanche, who said that foreign tourists accounted for 62 percent of the spectators at the opening ceremony. On July 26, the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the occupancy rate of the hotels in Paris was close to 90 percent, and since then it has been 80 percent, which is 15 percent higher than last summer.
