Tourism to Paris will rise this year

Thursday, January 4, 2024

Some tour operators are seeing their room rates rise this year due to the Olympics.

Some of Paris’s tourist attractions are also bumping up their prices. Starting January 15, the entrance fee to the Louvre will rise to about $24 (€22).

According to the museum, that’s its first price increase in 8 years.

“For any hotel contracts that we’ve been able to renew, we’re seeing year-over-year increases starting at 20% in the weeks leading up to the Olympics,” said Jason Susinski, director of product for Kensington Tours.

Susinski said tour guides in Paris are also now charging more.

“We’re also seeing local guides increase the cost of their guiding services, in some cases as much as 20% over last year,” he said.

Paris was labeled the “world’s most powerful city destination” in 2023 by the World Travel and Tourism Council. Its travel and tourism sector was worth almost $36 billion in 2022.
