After two years weighed down by the Covid-19, tourism is on the rise again in the summer of 2022, driven by the massive return of foreigners. The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum are once again taken by storm, and Brittany is also doing well.
If a gray and cloudy sky overhangs the sky of Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine), it is not enough to discourage visitors. A group of tourists came to discover the history of the corsair city with Brigitte Wieland, tourist guide. Since the beginning of the summer, his notebook has been full. “[Elles] are limited to 35 people, and we most often had 35 people“, she confides. Brittany is attracting tourists for the summer of 2022. Attendance is up 9% compared to 2019, and restaurants are running at full speed. “We never stop“, rejoices Gurvan Brisou, of the brasserie La buvette des Bains.
In the capital too, tourists are back. At Trocadéro (Paris), Americans can finally admire the Eiffel Tower, after two years of restrictions due to Covid-19. “We are happy to have been able to come back“, confides a woman. The return is welcome for the tourism sector, since the Americans are among the highest-spending visitors, with 400 euros on average each day.
