France, known for its rich history, culture, and iconic landmarks, has a vibrant Travel & Tourism market that continues to evolve and attract visitors from around the world.

Customer preferences:
Travelers in France are increasingly seeking authentic and unique experiences that allow them to immerse themselves in the local culture. This has led to a rise in demand for personalized tours, culinary experiences, and off-the-beaten-path destinations. Additionally, there is a growing interest in sustainable travel practices, with eco-friendly accommodations and activities becoming more popular among tourists.

Trends in the market:
One notable trend in the French Travel & Tourism market is the increasing popularity of digital platforms and technology in trip planning and booking. Travelers are turning to online resources to research destinations, compare prices, and make reservations, which has led to a rise in online travel agencies and booking platforms. Furthermore, the rise of social media influencers and digital marketing has had a significant impact on travel trends, with many tourists seeking Instagram-worthy locations and experiences.

Local special circumstances:
France's diverse landscape, ranging from picturesque countryside to bustling cities, offers a wide range of attractions for travelers. The country's world-renowned culinary scene, fashion industry, and art and architecture also contribute to its appeal as a top tourist destination. Additionally, France's well-developed transportation infrastructure, including high-speed trains and extensive road networks, makes it easy for visitors to explore the country.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The stability of France's economy, along with government initiatives to promote tourism, has played a key role in the growth of the Travel & Tourism market. The country's strong international reputation, safety standards, and investment in hospitality infrastructure have helped attract a steady flow of tourists. Furthermore, events such as cultural festivals, sports tournaments, and exhibitions continue to drive tourism and boost the local economy.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on bookings, revenues, and sales channels of hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, package holidays, and camping.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use financial reports, the Global Consumer Survey, third-party studies and reports, data from industry associations (e.g., UNWTO), and price data of major players in respective markets. To estimate the number of users and bookings, we furthermore use data from the Statista Consumer Insigths Global survey. In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as country-related GDP, demographic data (e.g., population), tourism spending, consumer spending, internet penetration, and device penetration. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, ARIMA, which allows time series forecasts, accounting for stationarity of data and enabling short-term estimates. Additionally, simple linear regression, Holt-Winters forecast, and exponential trend smoothing methods are applied. A k-means cluster analysis allows for the estimation of similar countries. The main drivers are tourism GDP per capita and respective price indices.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change.
