This was stated by the Minister of Tourism of France Olivia Gregoire, Market Screener reports.
France is the most visited country in the world, and tourism accounts for about 8% of French gross domestic product.
"We had a very good summer," Gregoire told reporters.
According to her, based on current estimates, the final figures for revenues from foreign tourists in 2023 should be 64-67 billion euros.
The global tourism and travel sector has recovered over the past two years as countries have emerged from quarantines aimed at containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
