Paris tourist numbers increase

THE last weeks of 2016 and the first months of 2017 have shown a sharp recovery in visitor numbers in #Paris tourism after 12 months of decline, the largest recorded since 2009.

Thus, the month of December 2016 saw hotel arrivals in Greater Paris increase by 19.5 % compared to December 2015, with a progression of 28 % for foreigners. 

More significant still, these arrivals were back at the level of December 2014, before the series of attacks that affected France from January 2015.

When compared with December 2014, although some markets were still in sharp decline Japan, Italy, and Russia especially whilst others showed strong growth reflecting a positive underlying trend, United States,China, Middle East and Asia (excluding China and Japan) all showed increased visitor numbers.

These observations were confirmed in January 2017 with hotel arrivals in Greater Paris up by 20.1 % compared to January 2016 and by 28.7% for foreigners. 

The level reached in January 2017 is even a record for the month of January over the past 10 years.
