International tourist arrivals in France 2010-2021
The number of international tourist arrivals in France rose by 16 percent in 2021 over the previous year, after falling dramatically in 2020 with the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. That said, inbound arrivals remained way below pre-pandemic levels, totaling around 48 million in the second year of the health crisis. Despite the sharp drop in inbound travelers caused by the pandemic, France remained the country with the highest number of international tourist arrivals worldwide in 2021.
