Islamist attacks have scared off thousands of tourists from Paris and its top attractions, helping rob the French capital of about 750 million euros ($850 million) in revenues, officials said on Tuesday.

Strikes and floods have also taken their toll, overshadowing a boost from the Euro 2016 soccer championships and leaving the tourism industry in need of massive new investment and a rescue package, representatives of the sector said.

"It's time to realize that the tourism sector is going through an industrial disaster," the head of the Paris region tourist board, Frederic Valletoux, said in a statement.

If the French tourism industry is going bankrupt, imagine what tourism must be like in Germany!

I can't wait for Paris Disney to have Snow White in a burka slash some tourists while she yells Alluha Akhbar!

What’s the problem? France has 100K’s of new tourists coming to visit the country from the Middle East! Sheesh! What whinners! (Pun intended.)

You invite the terrorists onto your shores, you pay the price. In a sane world no one would bail you out for your own stupidity.

Londonistan is not far behind....

Sadly neither is America outside of Texas, but the same leftidiots who created a similar mess in LA, NY, and DC are moving here in droves. Sigh.

What sane person would go anywhere near mainland Europe or England. Ireland, Wales, Iceland and Liechtenstein are about the only areas yet to be targeted by jihadists.

Writer Jean Raspail warned his countrymen forty years ago this would happen if they kept bringing in third worlders.
And they still call him bad names.

They need to start worrying about more than tourism. Time to order their priorities and be prepared to play real hardball.

I always wanted to tour the Romantische Straße (Romantic Road) but not now.

Anytime the subject of travel comes up, I tell everyone to avoid France. Hell, even overseas French people themselves don’t want to go back

I think these countries are holding back.Tourists may be a problem ,but what about all their own citizens scared to go to bars,restaurants,shopping centers? ..I think their budget is in worse shape than they are letting on.

Get rid of the Muslims in your midst; Activate your military, SWAT teams, along with France's version of the Elite forces in the French military, then invade, reconquer AND SUBDUE ALL of the "Muslim NO GO" sections in Paris and in other cities in France AND DEPORT ALL OF THE MUSLIMS BACK TO THE THIRD WORLD MUSLIM HELL HOLES THEY CAME FROM; Conduct secret, unanounced raids on EVERY MOSQUE IN FRANCE. If ANY WEAPONS, MUSLIM TERRORIST PROPAGANDA OR TRAINING TRAINING MANUALS OR INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOUND WITHIN, CLOSE THE MOSQUES DOWN, ARREST THE IMAMS INVOLVED IN THIS TERRORIST SEDITION AND BURN THE MOSQUES TO THE GROUND!

An open letter to the people and leaders of France; If you want to take your country back, if you want to restore your country, your tourist industry, the very future existence of France as a nation you are going to have to FIGHT FOR IT!

You also desperately need to individually come to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through faith in Him and His one, all-sufficient sacrifice on the cross for you. God almighty has promised: "Blessed is the nation whose God is The Lord." Not "allah", but The Lord Jesus Christ. Because ultimately, only He has the power to deliver and restore France and her once great people.

France could market “Warfare Tourism,” in which visitors would be given state-of-the-art weaponry to have available to kill all Mussie attackers. The first location to be visited would be that Mussie-town area which only Mussies enter in Paris.

They could sell the videos of your defensive moves.

Paris tourism chiefs demand rescue plan as attacks scare off visitors.

They need to politely ask those that are causing the problem to please stop it.

[gunsequalfreedom]

They could start by requiring a permit be obtained for any assembly that will block a street.

Well, you can have blood-thirsty moslems, or you can have tourists, but you can’t have both.
