Tourist spots are consolidated and it is convenient for tourists

One of the reasons why there are a lot of tourists to France is that there are many tourist attractions and places are concentrated.

Paris is a small city about 10 km in diameter so it is very convenient for tourists to move around in that area.

Many business trips and many business trips as a business

And the other is that not only tourists but business travelers are included.

Attracting business travelers at events and trade fairs is also being done as one of the national policies.
As a world famous event "Paris collection" can be mentioned.
Other than the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and the French Open Tennis are also popular, and in trade fairs there are all kinds of trade fairs in France, including cars, objects, food relations, eyeglasses and architecture.
In addition, the proportion of business travelers who visit Buddha to seek such events and trade fairs seems to occupy about 4X of the number of tourists.

Especially business related business trips are a status and a pleasure as well as many people are looking forward to business trips every time, since hotel and restaurant fee, sample purchase etc. can be dropped by expenses, it is easy to drop money It is also a point to notice.

Provide convenient transportation system

You can go anywhere with the same ticket

Speaking of France is a popular city in Paris.
Since there is only a train company called SNCF, it can be purchased at any station.
In Paris there are only one subway, tram (tram), bus company, so always use the same ticket at any distance and any means of transportation.

Even tourists can rent cars and bicycles

There are places where foreigners can easily rent bicycles easily in French cities around 1,200 places.
Electric vehicles can also be borrowed in Paris near 1,000 places just like the previous bicycle system.

The number of airports is 44, even if it is near Paris, the international airport is 3

The area of ​​ParisWith 105.4 km² in Japan's TokyoIt is said that there is only the inside of the Yamanote line.
Yet, there are three airports that can arrive and depart as international flights.
The goodness of the undercarriage can be said to be an important point for tourists too.

Enhancement of information services for tourists

Even if you visit France from any country in the world, there is nothing to worry about information.
In France there is the information center of the Tourism Board of Government, where you can always get information on the popular places in France.

The government tourist information information center has 6 offices in Paris because the staff can talk in 10.
Even if tourists can not speak French and English, such as seasonal information, events, maps, sightseeing tours, museums, concerts, sightseeing buses, hotel reservations, etc., help is provided for easy traveling.

It is also possible to purchase tickets on the site.

There is also a problem in tourism power

There is also a problem in tourism nation 1 place.

Despite the fact that France is the most tourist country in the world, the tourism income ranking is surprisingly 1 place, not 4 place.
There is a report that there are more tourist incomes in the United States and Spain that continue with 2 position 3 place.

The reason is that tourists stay at 7 night on average when visitors go to France, but in the US they stay for about 2 weeks.
The current French tourism problem is to lengthen staying stay.

Summary

The advantage of France is to bring benefits.
However, thanks to the benefits, France has 30 consecutive tourists number 1 year, because there are various efforts of the government, such as transportation and information service.
