French Tourism Sector Fears Fallout as Demonstrations Continue

France is preparing for more protests over the weekend and the country’s tourism bodies fear the impact they will have. The riots started as peaceful student demonstrations that got out of hand . Pictures of the violence were posted and transmitted over the globe .

School blockades turned into larger disruption and pockets of violence by some adolescents over topics such as the growing cost of living on Saturday. But some visitors to Paris seem largely unfazed by the dramatic images of looting and skirmishes with police.

Visitor Eliana Chanez, from Louisiana in the United States, said the weekend’s pandemonium didn’t ruin the city for her. You just have to be careful and take anything you see in the news with a grain of salt. We know that there is a movement happening,” she said. But we also understand that it’s part of the culture, it’s part of what makes France unique and we want to listen to every voice.”
