Paris – The most hospitable city in the world

In this blog entry, I will be talking about the world known city Paris and why I think that it is one of the most hospitable cities in existence.

Being the number one rated tourist destination in the world, Paris draws in over 27 million tourists and there are many hotels and restaurants that want their share of the profits. Paris makesup 25% of Frances overall economy “60 % of the guests that stay in hotels in Paris are foreign and a 1/3 of them are American/British tourists”. This is one of the perfect examples in how the tourism industry helps the hospitality industry.

 

According to www.expedia.co.uk/paris-hotels , there are around 1731 hotels in Paris with 40 of them being 5 star rated and over 300 of them 4 star rated. These hotels are scattered all over Paris in order to take advantage of tourists who wish to stay in a specific area of Paris such asNotre Dame.

Avenue Gustave Eiffel or Montparnasse. The thousands of restaurants that are also scattered all over Paris, attract a high number of customers who are willing to pay almost anything to eat in their restaurants (assuming that they meet and exceed the customer’s expectations).

However, these hotels and restaurants help to contribute to the deep hole in your pocket that Paris digs into, making it not only one of the hospitable cities in the world, but also one of the most expensivecities to live in.
