This is report from Breitbart – one of the very few reliable sources of news as it hasn’t been taken over by the libtards (see yesterday’s blog)
Tourists from China are avoiding France amid surging violence and crime, a Chinese tourism expert has said, reporting that customers are turning to Russia as a safer destination.
Ha-ha-ha-ha. You have to laugh. Our dear French friends’ decision to let the invading migrant armies take over their capital city seems to be having the predicted effect – tourists are avoiding Paris like the plague.
President of the Chinese Association of Travel Agencies in France, Jean-François Zhou, said “increasingly violent” thefts and assaults are turning France into “one of the worst destinations for foreign tourists”.
Mr. Zhou, a representative for major Chinese travel agency Utour in France, reported a steep decline in visitor numbers from Asia, and said many tourists are now looking to Russia as a less dangerous holiday destination.
“In 2016, there were 1.6 million Chinese tourists compared to 2.2 million in 2015. The number of Japanese tourists dropped 39 per cent, and Koreans 27 per cent. Our tourists have turned to Russia, which is less attractive but at least it is a safe country. For Putin, it is an economic windfall”, he told Le Parisien.
Rising violence and aggression account for the drop, according to Mr. Zhou, who said: “For a number of Chinese tourists, the dream of visiting France and Paris has turned into a nightmare”.
“[Chinese tourists] are robbed in the palace of Versailles, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, in front of their hotel, as they leave the coaches … In high season, not a day goes by without tourists being assaulted.”
Violent incidents in France have “sparked panic” on social media in Chinese, Mr. Zhou said, recalling one in which an 80-year-old man was seriously injured as he tried to resist thieves, and he reported how female tourists have been pushed to the ground while criminals steal bags containing all their papers.
Having lived in France for 25 years, Mr. Zhou said he has borne witness to the country’s deteriorating security situation over the decades, which has resulted in Paris ranking “number one in Europe in terms of the upsurge in delinquency”.
While so far there are no organised campaigns calling on Chinese tourists to avoid visiting France, the experienced travel agent said that a boycott “has already begun”, with “several Asian operators preferring to divert Asian tourists to Italy, Spain, and Russia”.
Paris’s regional tourism office last year reported a slump in visitor numbers to the city, and attributed some of the decline to terror fears, as more than 200 people have been killed in *sl*mic terror in France since 2015.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha – that’s cheered me up!
Given that Marine Le Pen is the only French politician who wants to stop the inbred, low-IQ, illiterate, unemployable Third-World invasion of her country, perhaps the French national motto should be changed from “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” to “Liberté, égalité, libtardité”?
Or let’s be more brutally honest to our puffed-up, arrogant, cowardly French neighbours and call “une pelle une pelle” with a new national motto ““Libtardité, envahisson, soumission!”
You laughing made me laugh !
B.b.b..but “the vibrancy”, the “enrichment” !!!
Fine speech by the new President. I hope it made lots of snowflakes cry. I find I am becoming addicted to their tears.
The Guardian has gone into meltdown re Trump – “Snowflake central”- thankfully it’s rapidly heading towards the fate of the Independent financially -only propped up by “non job” advertising for BBc and the like.
Had some great times in Paris in the 70’s and 80’s….last time I was there, spring ’09 there were more than enough outsiders to spoil the place, it must be horrendous now. More recently a number of people I spoken to have all had the same opinion, the place is now a dump and dangerous with it. Avoid.
