VISITOR IMPACTS

According to the visa rules and attractions as per France government and their tourism destination is providing for their visitors and tourists impacts which might be positive on European visitors and negative on Arabs or non European visitors. This is because their flexible rules are for Europeans and not for non Europeans and this also could be the reason that there are increases in the number of European tourists and visitors rather than non European attracted to their French services and facilities.

As per the attractions and appeals provided by French government and tourism destinations for their tourists and visitors are wide categories that their stay will not only be business but also personal entertainment and leisure with many options that are welcoming them. So, it is understood that an entrant or visa to France is not easy and it has to be for business purpose or seminars attending reasons besides at the same time to have fun and make usage of various attractions made available.

Due to the various attractions and appeals there is unequal impact on the regions in France as well as according to the impacts from the visitors and tourists either increasing or decreasing that is resulting in the growth of one location and stable in others.
