France's Tourism Boom Fails to Translate into Expected Revenue
High visitor numbers contrast with lower-than-anticipated economic gains

Industry professionals express concern over the disparity, attributing it to shorter stays and reduced spending per tourist.
The situation underscores the need for strategic investments and policy adjustments to enhance the economic impact of tourism and address the challenges of overtourism in popular destinations.
