Louvre attack leaves Paris fearing new blow to tourism


Photos: AFPFriday's machete attack on soldiers at the Louvre was the first "terrorist attack" at a tourist landmark in Paris. The number of people heading through the doors at the Louvre dropped by 15 percent last year compared to 2015. An August report noted a 3.9 percent drop in traffic through Charles de Gaulle airport, an 11 percent drop in visitors to Disneyland Paris, and a 14.6 percent drop in the number of Paris hotel reservations. Another report found that Paris tourism has lost €750 million since terror attacks. City chiefs were forced to appeal to tourists to follow the example of locals and not be scared.
