Paris tourism lost 750m euros after attacks
Paris
ISLAMIST attacks, strikes and floods kept foreign tourists away from the French capital in the first half of the year and cost the Paris region tourism industry some 750 million euros (S$1.1 billion) in lost revenue, officials said on Tuesday.
"It's time to realise that the tourism sector is going through an industrial disaster. This is no longer the time for communication campaigns but to set up a relief plan," Frederic Valletoux, head of the Paris region tourist board said in a statement on Tuesday.
