Remembering this date helps us take stock of the historic moment that awaits us next summer. We have the opportunity to show the millions of tourists who travel here a France like they have never seen before. For several years now, all tourism professionals β restaurateurs, hoteliers and traders β have been preparing to host these Games with one objective: to make it a great moment of celebration for everyone.
At the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, sporting values such as perseverance and team spirit remind us that we can all be inspired by pushing ourselves further and the quest for excellence. They are a showcase of our know-how and a unique opportunity to honour our country, its history, heritage and culture.
For these Olympic and Paralympic Games, let us proudly open our doors to the world with the promise of an unforgettable experience! Naturally, due to the positive impact they generate or will generate, these events offer a tremendous opportunity for the country.
They are a symbol of unity, openness to the world, a powerful factor for change and innovation in multiple areas: acting for sustainability, supporting training and employment, respecting and protecting the environment, promoting inclusion.
In terms of tourism, they are an opportunity to strengthen the attractiveness and hosting quality of France as a destination, to promote the know-how of its professionals in planning events and optimise the economic benefits by inviting international visitors to extend the length of their stay.
