Attentats-NiceTourisme

SUMMARY

Following the Nice attacks in 2016, the Côte d'Azur saw a significant drop in tourism activity, which is essential to the local economy. This article explores the impact of these attacks on the tourism sector, revealing a notable reduction in overnight stays, particularly among foreign tourists. In response to this crisis, a crisis unit was set up to revitalize the destination's image. With an investment of one million euros in an advertising campaign aimed at restoring a positive perception of the French Riviera abroad, and the launch of the hashtag #CotedAzurNow, players in the tourism industry are mobilizing to revitalize tourist numbers in the region.
