Foreign tourists cancel trips to Paris because of the "delta" strain of coronavirus.

Meanwhile, the enterprises of the tourist business of the French capital intended to receive 5 million foreign tourists this summer, mainly from the United States and Asian countries.

In turn, Parisian guides complain that tourist groups are becoming increasingly small. "If in 2019 I had groups of 9 to 12 people, this year there are a lot of cancellations, and we practically serve individual tours," says one of the guides.

The situation is even less favorable for souvenir dealers. "We make 20% of the revenue from what we received two years ago. Of course, the French buy figures of the Eiffel Tower, but this is not the volume. Where foreign tourists bought several pieces, they buy one for their child, " complains the owner of a souvenir shop located near the Sacre Coeur Basilica in the north of Paris.

In the current situation, he and many of his colleagues are forced to think about curtailing their business.
