At the start of the 2024 peak tourist season, Haute-Vienne is preparing to welcome tourists and visitors, despite a tense economic situation coupled with unfavorable weather. The recent political situation in France has impacted on the July vacation schedule, making visitor numbers uncertain at the start of the summer.
✅ Initial observations from the Haute-Vienne Tourism Observatory show a moderate increase in tourist overnight stays from January to June 2024, with +3.4% compared to 2023. French arrivals rose by 4.9%. Foreign tourist arrivals appear to be stagnating, with the exception of the British, who remain loyal to Haute-Vienne.
✅ A national context and the economic situation weighing on the 2024 season
✅ Impact of the weather: while May 2024 benefited from a favorable calendar with public holidays conducive to extended stays, the very rainy month of June could cause a drop in bookings for summer vacations in France.
✅ Projection for the high and very high seasons: The French make summer vacations sacred, and are likely to maintain their stays in France, favoring value for money and less expensive periods such as the end of August.
