Tourism in Montpellier

Montpellier is a famous tourist city in southern France. Montpellier is a famous tourist city in southern France and one of the important scientific, educational, cultural and health centers in this region. Montpellier attracts a large number of immigrants with its warm climate, ancient culture and unique Mediterranean scenery. In just over half a century, it has become the eighth most populous city in France from an ordinary provincial capital.

Montpellier, located on the Mediterranean economic line, is a wine producing area in languedoc, a coastal plain in the southern Mediterranean, and has always been a wine trading center. Traditional industries include food, textiles, candles, soap, spices and chemicals. The Marcona nuclear power station, which was built in this city from 65438 to 0956, has a long-standing reputation in France. At the end of the 20th century, American IBM Computer Company invested and built factories in this city, which became the private enterprise providing the most jobs in Montpellier, and further developed Montpellier's modern industry. The negative evaluation of Montpellier mainly focuses on public security and economy.

In terms of public security, with the influx of a large number of migrants, Montpellier's unemployment rate has been rising and social problems have become more and more serious, making Montpellier one of the cities with poor public security in France.

Economically speaking, Montpellier lacks the necessary radiation ability and competitiveness.

(1) The two neighboring capitals of Montpellier, Marseille and Toulouse, have experienced explosive growth in economic level and popularity, while Montpellier itself is neither a land transportation hub nor an important port (the port is in Seth, more than 30 kilometers away from the city center, and the scale is not large). In this way, Montpellier does not have much advantage in transportation.

② Looking at the whole Languedoc-roussillon area, almost all cities in China don't listen to Montpellier: the provincial capital cities such as Perpignan and Nimes are not bad, and no one needs to radiate them; In the west, Carcassonne in 1 1 province is more dependent on Toulouse; The population of Mande in 48 northern provinces is too small and the transportation is inconvenient. Many times, Mande people will give priority to clermont-ferrand when they go out. In this way, Montpellier's radiation range is only a few small cities in this province and Nabone, and it is difficult to compete with Marseille and Toulouse.

Montpellier lacks the necessary pillar industries: Toulouse next door has developed aerospace, Marseille has a natural harbor, and even clermont-ferrand in the ravine has enough Michelin for a lifetime. These are beyond Montpellier's power, and the only wine available is far less than Bordeaux, champagne or Burgundy. Because Montpellier has a large population, although the total amount is objective, the per capita GDP has not reached the average level of France.

(4) Montpellier's industry is poor and its international reputation is too low. The desperate Montpellier government has invested heavily and spared no effort to promote the city. From 20 12 onwards, tourist information posters of Montpellier and the whole region can be seen everywhere in Lyon station, and French television stations also release similar short films from time to time. What's the effect? I don't know.

At the end of 20 15, according to the administrative divisions of the French region, Languedoc-roussillon region will merge with the Southern Pyrenees region, Toulouse will become the capital of the new region, and Montpellier will also shed the aura of the administrative center. How will this city develop in the future? Let's wait and see.
