U.S. tourists are re-thinking plans to travel to Paris and Europe in the wake of the Paris shootings. Bobbi Rebell reports.
Islamist attacks, strikes and floods kept foreign tourists away from the French capital in the first half of the year and cost the Paris region tourism industry some 750 million euros in lost revenue. As Sonia Legg reports, tourism bosses say massive investment in the sector is needed.
Business in Paris was hit badly after the terror attacks last month that claimed the 130 lives. But, as David Pollard reports, there's hope the deeper impact on French growth will only be temporary.
Paris' tourism industry and shop sales pick up again in the aftermath of the attacks, but as Joel Flynn reports, the French capital is still a scene of strong police and military presence.
The attacks in Paris on Friday stand to bruise the tourism industry in one of the world's most visited countries. As Sonia Legg reports, it comes at a time of already low economic growth across Europe.
