The Cost of the Paris Attacks
French tourism expected to experience short-term downturn
At least 129 people died after a series of violent incidents around Paris, France, on
Friday 13 November 2015. Gunmen and suicide bombers hit a concert hall, a major
stadium, restaurants and bars almost simultaneously. The next day, large tourist
groups made their way to the train stations while more visitors headed to Charles de
Gaulle airport where long queues awaited them. In the wake of the attacks, Paris
closed all of its parks and tourist sites.
Paris is the most popular city in the world among international travellers. The city is
not just the political, financial and cultural capital of France, but also the centre of a
tourist industry that contributes around 8% to the French economy. More than 22
million tourists stayed in Paris hotels in 2014.
