French tourism revenue data in recent years

1992, France hosted the Winter Olympics, and in April of the same year, Disneyland Paris opened to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Normandy landing, which also attracted a large number of tourists. Overseas tourists, especially those from the United States, Britain and Canada, have increased. The opening of the Channel Cross-Harbour Tunnel has further promoted the British market. Unfortunately, the European star train started at the end of 1994; Van and shuttle bus are also delayed. According to the preliminary results of the first eight months of 1994, last year was another record-breaking year. France's tourism balance has declined slightly, which is expected to be 59.5 billion francs. This is because the sharp increase of France's foreign expenditure exceeds the increase of international income. France's international tourism revenue is from 1994 to137.5 billion francs, with a growth rate of 3.8%. At the same time, the number of international arrivals and overnight stays increased by about 3%, reaching 63.65438+0000 and 443 million respectively. The major overseas markets except Spain all showed a growth trend at 1994, and many of the growth rates were double digits.

At present, the output value of tourism in France has reached 600 billion francs, providing 550,000 jobs, of which 65,438+0.5 million are in the hotel industry. This has not alleviated the severe unemployment situation facing France.
