France is facing potentially more than one billion dollars in lost revenue this year, due to huge declines in tourism. Safety concerns have been one of the biggest reasons why the country has lost over half a billion in revenue already in the first six months of 2016. The terror attacks in Paris last November, we were called Europe's worst in the past decade, besides violence, workers strikes and heavy floods are said to have also been why international tourists have stayed away. So far in the Paris region, there's been a forty-six percent decline in Japanese visitors, thirty-five percent fewer Russians and twenty-seven percent fewer Italians. American travelers seemed the least affected, Their numbers have only dropped by roughly five percent. According to the French government, the country is the number one tourist destination in the world, and tourism is extremely important to the French economy. The sector represents roughly nine percent of its GDP. The Head of Paris's Tourism Board said: "it's time to realize that the tourism sector is going through an industrial disaster."
由于旅游业的大幅下滑,法国今年可能面临超过10亿美元的收入损失。安全问题一直是该国在2016年前6个月已经损失逾5亿营收的最大原因之一。去年11月在巴黎发生的恐怖袭击,我们被称为过去10年来欧洲最严重的恐怖袭击,据说除了暴力、工人罢工和大洪水之外,也是国际游客避而远之的原因。到目前为止,在巴黎地区,日本游客减少了46%,俄罗斯游客减少了35%,意大利游客减少了27%。美国游客似乎受到的影响最小,他们的人数只下降了大约5%。法国政府称,法国是世界第一大旅游目的地,旅游业对法国经济极为重要。旅游收入约占其GDP的9%。巴黎旅游局局长表示:“是时候意识到旅游业正在经历一场工业灾难了”。
