Parisian charm captivates Chinese travelers further, as tourist visits grow by 15%
Chinese Tourists Flock to Paris, Boosting Tourism
Paris is gearing up for a significant increase in Chinese tourists, according to data published by "Choose Paris Region," the official international outreach agency responsible for the area. This surge in visitors is expected to result in a strong rebound for tourism in Paris and its surrounding regions.
The anticipated influx of Chinese tourists is particularly noteworthy, given the traditional holiday month in France and the holiday season in Paris. August is typically when most Parisians leave the capital, leading to a quieter city. However, photos posted on RedNote of deserted boulevards near Parc Monceau and the Musee d'Orsay are likely to change as Chinese tourists flock to the city in recent weeks.
The jump in visits from China to Paris surpassed that of only Canada, which saw a 31% surge compared to 2024. This increase in visits from China was not previously mentioned in earlier reports.
The Palace of Versailles and Disneyland Paris are among the top attractions in the Ile-de-France region, which is also included in the anticipated influx of Chinese tourists. Choose Paris Region predicted this increase, and on Thursday, they published data to support their prediction.
One user on RedNote wrote about the quietness in Paris, but the anticipated number of Chinese tourists is approximately 100,000. This influx is expected to bring life back to many Parisian neighborhoods that have few people due to the holiday season.
The surge in Chinese tourists is expected to result in a strong rebound for tourism in Paris and its surrounding areas, providing a much-needed boost to the city's economy. As the city prepares for this influx, Parisians and tourists alike can look forward to a bustling and vibrant city once again.
