Question 22167 — tourism and leisure

Summary

Mr. Buon Tan questions the Minister of the Interior about the reception conditions for foreign tourists in Paris. While the city of Paris crossed the 50 million tourist mark in 2018, the question of the quality of their reception and the means implemented to this end does not fail to worry. Tourism professionals, like law enforcement and Parisians themselves, report numerous situations worrying. First of all, the congestion of tourist sites and the development of illegal resales of entry tickets harm not only the quality of tourists' stay in Paris, but also the tranquility and security around these places. On the other hand, the presence of pickpockets and snatch thieves, despite several plans aimed at combating these phenomena, persists and is increasing significantly. alarming; Scams and bank card fraud are also growing. These problems are all the more serious as it often proves difficult, once tourists have left France, to file a complaint and complete the legal proceedings initiated. In this regard, it appears imperative to strengthen police and judicial cooperation with foreign states, in order to achieve a true security continuum. and information for foreign visitors. The quality of the welcome given to foreign tourists in Paris, and more broadly in France, contributes significantly to the influence and attractiveness of France. It contributes directly to the economic and cultural dynamism of the country. Unfortunately, the unfortunate experiences that can occur tarnish this image, particularly when these cases are widely publicized and relayed on social networks abroad. In this regard, the insecurity of tourist sites has become the first cause of refusal to travel to France by foreign tourists, in the face of the terrorist threat. He therefore asks him to indicate what measures the Government intends to take to guarantee the safety of foreign tourists in Paris, in their interest as in that of the French.
