France
Tourism is an important sector of the French economy. It accounts for 6.3% of GDP and generates some two million direct and indirect jobs in 200 000 companies, most of which are small or medium-sized. In recent years France, which is the world leader in the number of foreign tourist arrivals, has experienced exceptional growth, in particular up until 2001, making tourism activity the front ranking sector of the national economy in terms of the foreign currency inflow generated.
