Paris is a expensive, overrated shite hole and has been for years.

I went back in 2004 and never went back even after moving to Europe.

So Muslims want to bring all their enlightenment to the rest of the world and enrich us all? Is that right?

It appears that in the real world, the fewer Muslims the better off the country.

Napoleon would have them marching toward the German border by sundown.

And unfortunately, an-GUH-la would welcome them with open arms.

Yea, I can't imagine why. Sadly Europeans and Scandinavians are reaping what their politicians have sowed.

All of that rich diversity. And a great place for single ladies and bachelorette parties.

1.5 million tourists is a lot of money lost. Hopefully the hit in tax dollars will force the hand of the government. Money talks.

Paris is an amazing city and my wife and I look forward to spending time there every time that we go, but they're going to have to do something about this mess.

Look at all of those posh Parisian dwellings, you can practically smell the culture through your screen.

So here is France's solution to stemming the outgoing tide of foreign vistors: quadruple down on Chinese tourists. Why is this a crazy solution well for one because the Chinese absolutely hate African-French people and two they care for Arab-Frenchies even less. They couldn't find a more intolerant country to promote tourism too which is why the Chinese tourism numbers are down almost 25% from 2015.

French Firms: Boost Chinese Travel With More Airlines, Massive Ad Campaign

PARIS — Operators in France’s tourism and luxury sectors have banded together to coordinate a response to the country’s tourism woes — this time focusing on recovering Chinese visitors.

The Paris region alone welcomed 268,000 fewer visitors from China in 2016 than in 2015, a 21.5 percent decline, the Paris Regional Tourism Board has reported. The Paris region lost 1.5 million visitors overall in 2016, with an 8.8 percent drop in hotel stays by foreign guests.



Country-by-Country figures showed France lost: LINK

China: 268,000 fewer visitors (-21.4%);
Japan: 225,000 fewer (-41.2%);
Italy: 215,000 fewer (-27.6%);
USA: 100,000 fewer (-10%);
Russia: 65,000 fewer.

But other sites "have suffered deeply from the lack of tourists and cancellations by school groups":

Arc de triomphe: -24 percent;
Louvre museum: -13,3 percent;
Orsay museum: -12,9 percent;
Versailles château: -9,8 percent;
Disneyland Paris: -9,5 percent;
Spain: -9.9%
Britain: -8.6%

Tourism from European countries was also hit, with visitors from Italy and Russia declining by around a quarter despite the city’s hosting of several matches of the Euro 2016 football championships, including the final.

This 0.8 per cent drop in visitors has cost the area 1.3 billion Euros, which is a 6.1 per cent fall in takings from 2015.

Chinese tourists are Paris’ biggest spenders - upmarket department store Les Galeries Lafayettes has revealed that visitors from China are their main customers and their average Chinese shopper spends 1,400 Euros per visit.

Unfortunately most of Italy's sights look like this now, soldiers and assault vehicles everywhere, the Italian people will tell you it's all because of the migrants from North Africa. Very sad.

You can have one strong border, or you can build little "borders" around a million different places within your country.

The Globalists who have done this to Europe (Soros is a big player) deserve to be hanged.
