DESTINATION FRANCE: THE PROMOTION OF TOURISM
| |
France is fortunate to have an excellent reputation as a tourist destination: everyone wants to visit the capital and the provinces, admire her monuments and museums and discover the gastronomic treasures of her restaurants. The hidden corners of France's heritage and the variety of landscapes all over the country are much
admired.
This multi-faceted attraction is a real treasure that has to be safeguarded, supplemented and more widely shared. This is the role of the Ministry for infrastructure in its support for tourism in France in partnership with the leading specialist organisations and industry
professionals.

A headline economic opportunity |
| |
France is the n° 1 tourist destination in the world, with incomes representing 7% of GDP. Tourism generates 2 million jobs directly and indirectly for 215,000 small and medium-sized companies mostly employing fewer than 10 people.
Apart from its importance for the economy and for the livelihood and dynamism of France's regions, tourism enhances France's image in the world, with nearly 80 million foreign visitors every year. The Ministry for infrastructure is constantly working with tourism professionals to further improve the quality of tourism services and make them accessible to all French people.
