The expenditure on sports and recreation services by inbound tourists in France saw significant fluctuations over the past decade. While the period from 2013 to 2019 witnessed a varying growth, the sharp decline in 2020 due to the pandemic was notable. Recovery began in 2021 with consistent growth through 2023. The CAGR from 2020-2023 shows positive growth at 1.16%. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 predict moderate growth, with an estimated CAGR of 0.43%.
Future trends should focus on the impact of global events, the normalization of international travel post-pandemic, and the influence of major sports events hosted in France. Additionally, evolving tourist preferences for unique recreational experiences could drive further growth in this sector.
