The French market for travel & tourism: part 1

Article Abstract:

France's tourism industry experienced the highest growth during the period 1993-1997. The domestic tourism sector was the biggest market at FF242.7 bil in 1997, with the UK as the major French destination in 1996. Spending by foreign tourists also experienced a 16.9% growth, the highest during the same period. Still, the major forms of travel are airplanes and cars. Meanwhile, the French tourism industry is expected to grow as air fares become more favorable and long haul destinations becoming more popular. Also, France's hosting of the football World Cup in 1998 should bear a positive effect.

Domestic tourism

Article Abstract:

Some 36% of British holidaymakers, or 16 million people, take their holidays at home, while 38% take holidays abroad. Domestic tourism in the U.K. is centered on the seaside, with other venues including towns and cities, lakes and hills. Consumer expenditure on domestic tourism was worth 8.4 billion pounds sterling in 1993, with the main accommodation choice being self-catering. It is expected that the opening of the Channel Tunnel will have a major effect on domestic tourism, with more holidaymakers opting to travel to France for short-breaks.
