Many French tourism companies fear France—maybe the most visited country in the world—will lose international travelers this year. “At the end of May, the government will tell us when we can open again,” says Stéphanie Gombert, director of the historic Château de la Treyne （ 特恩城堡酒店 ）. “We will open my business in July, perhaps 1-2 rooms at the beginning. But I doubt for the whole year if we will have any international tourists. Maybe some from Switzerland or Belgium.”
From 89 million tourists in 2019, France was targeting 100 million in 2020. Now with coronavirus （ 冠状病毒 ）, all that has failed. “In the absence of foreign tourists, the summer season is lost in advance,” Le Figaro reports, as a large number of French hotels and other tourism companies wonder if it's even worthwhile opening their doors this year. “Even if they end up having the right, they doubt being able to have enough customers.” The hotel industry is facing an uncertain future. “The year 2020 is a lost year” for hotels, Roland Héguy, president of the hotel industry union declared last week.
The Dordogne （ 多尔多涅区 ） is one of the most popular holiday areas in France for overseas and French tourists. Tourism authorities in the southwest region are predicting €93 million losses for the usually busy March to May period. “There are going to be difficult situations for people in the tourism industry,” warns president of the Departmental Tourism Committee, Sylvie Chevallier. “We know that foreigners will not return in 2020.”
