Tourism and hotel professionals in Paris are hoping to make up for lost time with the showcase effect that the Olympics will have on their bookings for the coming seasons.
From Euronews, expecting a record-breaking summer, the hotel industry in Paris is becoming concerned as it experiences low occupancy rates ahead of the summer Olympic Games.
With barely four weeks to go until the Olympic Games, observers say tourists seem to be turning their backs on the capital.
Occupancy rates are down by almost 25% compared to previous years, according to some polls.
