France has presented itself to the Dutch travel industry today. Almost two dozen partners have come from the holiday country to present themselves at a workshop in Amsterdam. The year 2024 will be a special one for France with the hosting of the Olympic Games. The year 2023 was a bumper year, according to director Fabienne Javault of Atout France. ‘Without further ado. Spending has also gone up.’ Of course, the Games will have an impact. ‘But that’s Paris, the rest of the country is going the old-fashioned way and is counting on a lot of visitors, also from the Netherlands.’ Other special themes this year in France are events around 150 years of impressionism, 80 years of D-day and the reopening of Notre Dame on 8 December.
