Paris is proving to be an attractive destination for international travellers and tourism industry professionals, with a marked increase in air bookings and attendance at major events. Tourism Review Media notes that in January 2025, international air bookings to Paris rose by 19% compared to the previous year, with continued growth in February and March. This growth can be attributed to major events such as Maison & Objet, Fashion Weeks, and the NBA Paris Games, which attracted numerous visitors.
