Tourists Think Twice about Travelling to Paris

Some tourists are barring Paris for now and choosing instead to visit Germany and other European cities in the wake of the second major attack this year on the French capital.

The possible glitch in foreign arrivals will further pressure the French economy, especially if visitor unease lasts through the Christmas season. Tourism creates more than 7 percent of yearly GDP, with Paris alone attracting 32.2 million guests a year ago. More than 2 million Chinese were required to visit France, the world's major traveler destination, this year, up from 1.7 million a year ago, as indicated by Chinese state media citing the country's ambassador to France. For Japanese, France is the twelfth most well-known travel destination.

Among Asian airlines operating consistent flights to the French capital, a representative for South Korea's Asian Airlines said it ventured up security for Paris flights. Their passengers are really concerned about the attacks in Paris that killed 129 people. They also stated that Sunday alone, there had been 50 cancellations out of 300 bookings. Paris has always been a fully-loaded route, but loading has dropped to 70-80 percent since the attacks.

Few airlines, for example, Air China and Singapore Airlines, waived cancellation fees for those set up for flights to Paris in the coming days or weeks.

Things are looking vastly different over Europe after the deadly attacks in Paris. There is much heavier police vicinity at well-known spots and restaurants. And all this additional security, proposes travelers to be reluctant to spend their vacation in Paris.

Europe has been truly off the radar. Individuals have quite recently not been calling about that; they've been calling about their sun destinations and until things settle, individuals will be apprehensive.

People need not to avoid travel and just sit at home. They just need to be extra careful and sensitive on what's going on.

Some people's impression of Paris is that it's a romantic city but after several attacks, the security situation has been neglected and there are possible risks.
