Distinctive Geography
Due to its unique geography, France offers additional options for travelers. If you wish to laze on a beach in the sun, swim, surf, or snorkel? Direct your travels to Cote d'Azur, Cannes, or Nice. Do you wish to spend your vacation skiing to your heart's delight on the snowy slopes? a trip to Mont Blanc. Any business initiative can find a home in France.
France is simply a quick hop across the Channel for vacationers from the UK seeking to escape their unpredictable summers at home; in 2013, 12.6 million people made this trip. Before the pandemic, Germany, another neighbor of France, brought in 13 million tourists annually, more than any other nation. However, not all of these tourists are going to France specifically.
Many travelers are compelled to pass through France because of its location in relation to other countries. The majority of the 15 to 20 million tourists that visit France are only passing through on their way to Italy or Spain. This year, the trend has been furthered by the preference of many people to go by automobile, likely through or to France, rather than being crammed in with coughing strangers on a plane.
