Tourism earnings aim: François Bayrou set for €100 billion in revenues by 2030 on the global stage
In a significant gathering on Thursday, July 24, in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, François Bayrou announced his plans for foreign tourism and the Paris Olympics at an interministerial tourism committee meeting. The Prime Minister, accompanied by six ministers, including Eric Lombard, Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, Véronique Louwagie, Nathalie Delattre, Françoise Gatel, and Laurent Saint-Martin, were present at the meeting.
The meeting was a step towards the implementation of the action plan and the government's tourism and Olympic strategies. The action plan aligns with the government's goal of welcoming 100 million foreign visitors by the end of 2024, as part of the 2024 year-end report.
However, the details of Bayrou's action plan for foreign tourism and the Paris Olympics remain unclear. The available search results focus primarily on Bayrou's proposals to cut two public holidays to increase economic activity and reduce government spending for the 2026 budget, without any specific mention of tourism strategies or plans tied to the Olympics or the visitor target.
There is no reference to tourism development initiatives, Olympic-related tourism policies, or visitor growth schemes linked to Bayrou in these documents. The closest mentions relate to visitor statistics increasing somewhat in 2025 unrelated to any Olympic context and the reopening of the Seine for public swimming as a city improvement possibly attractive to tourists, but these do not appear connected directly to Bayrou or to a larger 2024 Olympics tourism plan.
Therefore, based on the available information, there is no explicit or publicly reported action plan by François Bayrou focusing on the 2024 Paris Olympics with the goal of reaching 100 million foreign visitors. His recent policy focus, as covered by these sources, is on fiscal austerity measures rather than on tourism development.
If more specific or updated details are needed, further targeted searches or direct statements from Bayrou’s office or tourism agencies would be required.
Despite the lack of an explicit action plan, François Bayrou's policy focus seems to shift towards fiscal austerity, primarily focusing on cutting public holidays to boost finance and reduce spending. However, details about a lifestyle-oriented strategy tying foreign tourism, business growth, and travel opportunities to the 2024 Paris Olympics remain unclear.
