France is experiencing a significant resurgence in tourism, with visitor numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Iconic destinations like Paris and the French Riviera report a 30% increase in arrivals compared to June 2019.
This surge is driven by the lifting of travel restrictions and a focus on unique experiences. "Tourists are seeking authentic interactions," says Marie Dupont, Director of France Tourism Board.
However, the influx of visitors has raised concerns about overcrowding. Authorities are promoting less-visited regions and implementing measures to manage tourist flow, emphasizing sustainable tourism practices.
As the summer progresses, France is welcoming travelers from around the globe, showcasing its vibrant culture and beauty once again.
